Who cares? You're confusing correlation with causation. If atheism is not responsible for the atrocities, then the fact that they were atheists is irrelevant. And you are simply wrong. More atrocities are committed by the religious, simply because there are more religious people. And of those things, a lot of them are caused by the religion, by the atrocity commiters own admission.
It doesn't make sense to me to say more atrocities are caused by the religious just because there are more religious people than atheists. Lots of religious people don't commit atrocities. I think the only way to compare is to tally the numbers of holy wars and that sort of thing against other atrocities like the ones I previously mentioned, but we've already established that we can't properly do that here, so unless someone else has already accurately done it, there's not a way to know.
