'A bunch [of atheists]', you're getting the cause wrong: read 'most people'. They'd be asses as christian, jew or other.
As if Christians never commited atrocities. Some so grimdark they became origin stories for one of the most powerful daemons in the warhammer 40k setting.
If we're rolling deaths caused by mismanagement of famine into numbers Pol Pot was a rookie. The East India Trading Company killed 10 million in the Bengal region to keep shareholders happy. Thats on top of those they hung for refusing to sell what little produce/store they had to the company (instead of feeding their family). This company was acting under royal charter, vis a vis acting in God's name.
Christians aren't magicaly absolved of their sins(!) unless you want to play the 'no real scottsman' game.

How long ago were the crusades? How many secular nations have been great since then?
Almost all of modern days societies evolution cane from the great conditions of Christian societies largely because of the system of rules and laws that allowed for building and advancement to take place. And as we move away from those values you can see how we are declining in real time.
On the flip side what does atheism provide for a society? Increased degeneracy which I’ve already shown the deeply harming effects that has, fractures community without a unified set of decent morals, leaves room to justify mass atrocities.
