You gave the hypothetical, that was your call. Whether or not any god actually spoke to Mr A has nothing to do with whether or not this was his justification for killing so-and-so. That Mr A had to believe in at least one god to believe that a god spoke to him should be so blisteringly obvious that I am at a loss as to why I have had to address this over and over.
You failed to offer any justification for Mr B, instead simply jumping from "Mr B is an atheist" to "Mr B is gonna kill Teh Jewz". In Mr A's case, there was something that tied the two together, in Mr B's case, there is not.
Again, you answered your own questions, repeatedly.
We are still on your question. If, in your system, theism is responsible for not killing, then, in my system, theism is responsible for killing -for precisely the same reason...even if no god is commanding anything at all-. Now, I go one step further, theism is to be blamed upon people, not blamed for the actions that people undertake. See, no metaphor there, I meant it quite literally.
