Not the same thing. You're say politics is a religion. You're saying if they kill someone, they did it because of "atheism"? Not because they state wanted you to die then sent someone to kill you.
I dont believe they went around killing millions of people saying "non-divine punishment" or "im killing you in the name of atheism.".
If it has an ideology, like kill all believers, its not atheism. That is something entirely different and totally insane.

I see what you're saying but it's just semantics at this point. You said:

Never seen a jihad in the name of secularism.

The cultural revolution was a jihad in the name of a secular ideology, literally attacking all religions, the intelligentsia, capitalists, bourgeoisie, etc, to impose a non-religious (secular) ideology. They had a clearly defined position of state atheism, which they maintain to this day.
It was as close to an atheist jihad as the Catholic crusades were to actual crusades, rather than political adventurism by noble second sons for land, title, wealth, and glory.
