They see Atheism as a benevolent alternative to religion, and so when their “lack of religion” ends up causing harm, they try to make excuses for it or ignore the atrocities altogether. Because they are the wise-folk, Atheists, and the religious are simpletons, and therefore Atheism is peaceful and can never do any harm. So there must be some other explanation for all of history’s greatest mass-murderes just HAPPENING to be Atheists
