There is no dogma or tenets with atheism therefore you can't act in a certain way based on being an atheist.
Religion on the other hand...….
Yes anti religious regimes have popped up throughout history, so what? Are you trying to say that the atheist population living under those regimes were responsible for their governments policies and actions?
Atheism is a stance taken on one question, it has no agenda or ulterior motive behind it. You can try to argue as much as you like that a disbelief in a God causes harm but you would be barking up the wrong tree. On the other hand, we see everyday the harm caused to people by populations with a belief in one God or another.
