Any group can grow to get political and abusive, yes. But the word "atheist" itself is a word denoting the "off" or "empty" position on god claims. It is not a club, though atheists form clubs.
There certainly are atheists I would not want in power in mass, like Ayn Rand atheists or Che supporters.
"Atheist" is not a moral code either. It merely means "off" on god claims.
Evolution produces both cruelty and compassion and since atheists are human beings we are also subject to the same flaws as any other label.
