You're really missing the point.
Nobody kills because of the belief "God exists", either. They kill because they believe "God exists" AND "God says it's right for me to kill non-Christians" or something like that.
So if you can't blame atheism because you need something more than "I don't believe God exists," then you can't blame theism, either, because you need something more than "I believe God exists".
