That is a meaningless statement. Atheism is a naked belief that a supernatural Creator Being does not exist as commonly understood in religious traditions. There is no accompanying ideology that informs that belief. So your utterance is mere sophistry, and is no more evidential or meaningful than claiming that people with black hair are responsible for “blood on billions of innocent.“--whatever that means?!

I suppose you are trying to make “atheist dominated power” somehow inform your condemnation of Communism but you have failed (as you must) because Communism is the ideology that fueled horrific sprees of genocidal murders just as Christianity and other religions have been the ideologies that fueled the insane genocides that existed throughout biblical mythology--and certainly for the last 2000 years, as well.

Atheism is not an ideology and has no premises to create any argument for immorality of any kind. So when atheists are a part of a Christian or Communist population (as familiar examples), it is no more significant than the fact that people who wear black shoes or have blond hair were a part of that population base where some ideological offenses against humanity repeatedly took place through the centuries.

All premises and actions directing either moral or immoral behaviors in conformance to a detailed dogma must arise in an ideological framework such as Christianity, Communism, Islam, etc. Where an atheist adopts an ideology, his/her ideology is what would make him or her right or wrong--NOT his/her opinion on supernatural worlds and creatures.”
