Yes or No.
No.
We are not even allowed to harm them (let alone kill them) as long as they have not declared any kind of war against Muslims: "Thus, if they let you be, and do not make war on you, and offer you peace, Allah does not allow you to harm them" (Surah 4:90). Maybe you don't know this, but fighting is only allowed for the purpose of self-defense such as to protect our family and property from an invasion.
It doesn't say anywhere in the Quran that Muslims should go around killing atheists and infidels. If you think that, then you are undoubtedly misinformed on this issue, and perhaps you never even read the Quran other than merely looking at bits and pieces which are taken out of context.
Fighting is also allowed in the defense of the religion(islam) , don't you see how vague these rules are ? who decides what ?
The endless debates that people are bringing about quran counts for nothing, if they realized that there is an even bigger problem called "Hadith" that people actually follow .
If i'm god and I already sent 2 religions, maybe I won't send a new religion to make people fight each other in various endless wars in my name from the very very beginning .
