That isn't responsive. Atheism doesn't purport to be a religion or a moral code. It is merely a statement about whether or not one believes that a conscious entity created us.

Theism in itself is only the belief there is a God-consciousness of some sort, and is not, until we get to that God's injunctions, itself a moral code.

Pol Pot and Stalin were not associated with any worldly or "spiritual" institution or any moral code with which I identify or defend.

Again, atheism is not a moral code. It is a statement of opinion about a single issue. Atheists are as various in their moral codes as are theists. (And of course theists with all sorts of different orders from their deities have attempted to force them down the throats of other theists who intuit a different package of orders.)
