Even the leaders like Stalin who were atheist did not kill people who were not, they didn't kill people because of atheism. The Crusades, Inquisition, etc, were religious in nature. No one has ever said, "There is no god, let's kill everyone who believes in them."
You will find that everyone listed just so happened to be atheist, but their beliefs had nothing to do with what they did.

"In our youth, we lacked the maturity, the decency to create gods better than ourselves so that we might have something to aspire to. Instead we are left with a host of deities who were violent, narcissistic, vengeful bullies who reflected our own values. Our gods could have been anything we could imagine, and all we were capable of manifesting were gods who shared the worst of our natures."-Me
"Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation; all of which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, even if religion vanished; but religious superstition dismounts all these and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men." – Francis Bacon
