Technically, we can kill in the name of atheism. "You don't want to become an atheist like me? Then die!"
However, all of the regimes that the religious quote as being atheists didn't kill in the name of atheism. They killed in the name of control.
Many of the hardline communist regimes were, technically, atheistic, but since they generally replace the worship of a deity with the worship of an individual or the state I think I can safely say they're not truly atheists.
