Gods have, historically, been the leading cause of death.
In the Bible God killed more folks then did Satan.
And when Satan killed folks it was usually on orders from God.
Satan and God made a bet. Satan said if I mess with Job he will stop believing in you. God said "you're on" and approved. So Satan killed Job's wife, and all of his children, and servants, etc. Maybe a dozen or so people.
Thats it. Satan's entire body count. Like a dozen or so.
God drowned the whole human race except for six people in Noah's flood (about 1700 years after Creation- there were presumably millions of people by that time). Later there were other mass murders. Drowning the Pharoah and his whole army. Ordering Ezikial to commit genocide against the Canaanites. And smaller acts of murder.
So God's body count goes into the millions upon millions.
And thats not counting the "planned obsolescence" of all humans after the fall. He made us all mortal after kicking us all out of the Garden of Eden. So in a sense ALL humans who ever lived, and will ever live, are God's "murder victims" . But even if you dont count "being built to be mortal" its still a body count in the millions.
