Sam Harris was concerned enough. Dawkins himself now feels the same way. So why are you trying to escape the problem by playing word-games?
I don't get it at all. Atheism doesn't allow for the legitimization of these crimes any more than science does. The way I see it is atheism has nothing to say about crimes. Neither does meteorology have anything to say about these crimes, but so what? You're not going to check with the weatherman before you step out? I don't see the relevance at all. And I'm not even an atheist.
