The third Reich was not in the name of God. The Church had to subjugate under the Nazis. Same with Stalin and the communists. They hated religion and I am pretty sure they committed quite a few atrocities in the USSR, Mao in China, Pol Pot in Cambodia ...

God is a convenient reason for atrocities but far from the only/most prevalent one.
