The scare quotes are there for a reason, ya know.
Many may have been stoned to death by an atheist but absolutely no one has ever been 'stoned to death' by an atheist.
I think you don't understand the whole purpose of the scare quotes.

It's the other way around when the motive for killing is the religious ideas.
Yeh I still don't understand how scare quotes make that statement any more correct.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
