There is no dogma or doctrine or methods or commandments or impetus to do anything, nor is there justification in atheism for any action. Atheism can't motivate an action (bad OR good) because it's literally just the lack of a belief. Actions are motivated by beliefs, and atheism is the lack belief.
Islam on the other hand, does have a proscribed method of moral life and does encourage its followers to do certain things.
Eventually an atheist MUST obey a doctrine of law, either it's a nationalist constitution or a gang's law. Hippie atheists are a different case ; even these will have to obey society laws -at least their own hippie society-.
It's a void point. Because simply, you will obey a law if you wanted a society. So even atheists obey laws which dictates them to do certain things.
Sometimes these laws are driven from communism. Some other times they are derived from capitalism. It depends.
