The way I look at it.
Atheism doesn't protect people from mass crimes.
Most religions don't protect people from mass crimes.
But I think we have to look at, what can heal humanity and bring peace and justice.
I feel that takes a higher morality, a uniting on higher principles, and emphasizing on a higher station meant for us humans.
Now a religion or book teaching this principles doesn't mean it will be successful right away or that all people claiming to follow it will be of that nature.
But it's the long term solution in my view, the healing to humanity in my view, the way to victory of the light over the darkness.
Without such a solution, we will never escape the cycle of injustice and oppression.
