I'm not sure either answer is cut and dry. If unspeakable things were committed in the name of either then wouldn't it have to be evaluated on a case to case basis? Furthermore, if someone claims to be an atheist or a theist and commits something that is universally despised do we blame that on whatever he/she claimed to be or do we blame the person?
Hitler is generally (although sometimes disputed to be) known to have been an atheist. Goebbels wrote in 1941 that Hitler "hates Christianity, because it has crippled all that is noble in humanity." Do we blame his actions on atheism because he didn't believe in God?
The crusades were carried out in God's name. Do we blame that on theism?
"My life has taught me that true spiritual insight can come about only through direct experience, the way a severe burn can be attained only by putting your hand in the fire. Faith is nothing more than a watered-down attempt to accept someone else's insight as your own." -Damien Echols

Moral conclusions of man versus moral conclusions of God.
I would bet there's more Atheist who support abortion than Christians.

You would be right about the average atheist versus the average Christian's stance on pro-life, versus pro-choice. Demonstrating scripturally that pro-life is Yehweh or Jesus's choice is harder. And more importantly demonstrating, which is actually right.
Yehweh's moral track record is about as good as Attila the Hun, and the NT version of god appears to think that sacrificing one person clears another of crime. It's morality that echos the choices of other peoples during the same time periods. You see, it's not really a choice between god's morality and human morality. It's a choice between bronze and iron age morality or modern morality. Both were created by humans.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
