Erik and Holly identified the source: Solzhenitsyn’s Templeton Prize lecture.
“More than half a century ago, while I was still a child, I recall hearing a number of older people offer the following explanation for the great disasters that had befallen Russia: “Men have forgotten God; that’s why all this has happened.” Since then I have spent well-nigh fifty years working on the history of our Revolution; … [and] if I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of the ruinous Revolution that swallowed up some sixty million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to repeat: “Men have forgotten God; that’s why all this has happened.”
Holly Bolly says
He said it in his address on winning the Templeton Prize.

Because in Atheism there is no objective morality. It is all, ‘This is my truth, that is your truth, none are superior than the others’. Subjective morality leads to atrocities like those committed by the Nazis. They didn’t think what they were doing was evil, but by our objective morals given to us by the Triune God, we can define them as having committed evil acts.
