atheists generally don't do horrible things in the ideological name of not believing in god. it would be nice if discarding religion also made you discard capitalism, white supremacy, chauvinism, or believing in bigfoot and psychics; but there's nothing forcing atheists to be humanists or skeptics or to become comrades.

ditching religion only takes away one lever western culture uses to propagate evil, but it does take away one lever.

Since when was nonreligious people doing horrible things in the name of atheism ever even a thing? They can do it for other reasons, and religious people did too. You're mistaking the cover for the motivation.
