In numbers, yes.

> Isn't its definition a lack of religion?

I thought it was defined by the lack of belief in deities / supernatural powers. I might be wrong.

Even if true, you can't compare the death toll of post industrial WWII and the crusades on numbers alone.

Precisely. A lack of belief.

In deities and supernatural powers.

In other aspects I find many forum atheists to believe strongly in theories that are way above their heads.
