Yep and Stalin was an atheist but unlike our theist friend here, I won't deny it. But in accepting he was, does not mean I value monsters like him, it just means denying that fact would be delusional.
It simply bothers theists that an atheist can do good and be good. They need to feel entitled as if they own a patent on goodness. But to be fair, all religions have followers that feel this way.
Interestingly, Stalin is the product of a seminary. He might be an atheist, but who knows how much of his craft he learned from the church.
Heinrich himmler was also no Christian and certainly no catholic. But he designed much of the pomp and ceremonies of his SS to imitate catholic rites and ceremonies, because he admired how well those were designed to encourage blind obedience against own better judgement.
