The atheist is accountable. The atheist doesn't justify his/her actions from ancient texts or telopathic messages.
If God exists and is wonderfully nice and charming, a religious leader may still wrongly use God to push political campaigns. An atheist leader does not.
I'm not saying that God is/isn't a bad influence, only that politics is safer without "him".
A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
