Point one: no we don't, that's just silly.
Point two: no we don't, we don't need a book to tell us what not to do, that would also be silly.
Point three: citation needed. Since the search terms 'atheist' and 'criminal' yield exactly no results on their website, I'm guessing the answer is probably no.
