The guy is an atheist, as much as Stalin or Bill Gates or me. There's no denying that. I'm more concerned about what the hell motivated him to take the lifes of three average innocent humans. If he held violent beliefs, not only anti-theistic beliefs but anti-theist beliefs (against theists themselves), that's a far clearer motivation for his actions than simply "i don't believe god exists".
Well just in case, I'd hate to see violent radical branches of atheism forming. Kinda defeats the point of being an atheist, considering a major principle of atheism seems to be opposing religious violent radicalism.
I wasn't aware atheism had any major principles besides not believing in a god.
In any event, it appears this triple murder was a result of a freaking parking dispute.

I don't see how anyone could connect a multiple-homicide over a parking spot in any way to simply not believing in a god. He may very well have had some violently islamophobic beliefs, which might have impacted his response to this simple problem, but it should be obvious this guy has some massive mental health issues.
