Atheist-communist-evolutionists have murdered more persons in the 20th century than were murdered previously in history.
First it is disingenuous to conflate all atheists with communists with 'evolutionists,' since these terms are neither synonymous or even causally related. But that has been pointed out several times already so I suppose it does not bother you in the least to skirt so close, if not violate, any Biblical stricture against 'bearing false witness.'
Second, even if all murders and absolutely all battle deaths in the 20th century were committed or be blamed on either atheists, communists, 'evolutionists' and even devout fascists like Franco were totaled, it would still be less than all murders and somewhat less-than-justifiable war deaths committed prior to the 20th century. For example the total of all the top 21 deaths due to wars, massacres, and atrocities, in history is 142 million for the 20th century and 247 million in prior centuries. Source:

Since it has been shown that this statement is obviously untrue, repeating it in the future would definitely mean 'bearing false witness.'
