I think the argument goes like this.
Atheists do horrible things. But it's just a coincidence that they are Atheist. Atheism wasn't the REASON they did such thing. It's just because they're bad people.
Whereas religion is used as a REASON to do something.
For example, something like hate/want for revenge isn't an atheist motive, it's .. idk, a human motive?
Like if an atheist dude kills a man because he was smashing his wife, one of his reasons could be revenge. Is revenge atheistic in nature? No. It's a human response.
An atheist is just an non believer in God
By killing the man, he is giving in to his God less human nature.
Is that man wrong to kill the other man?
No. By killing the man he's giving in to his want for revenge.
Look, the same thing can be said for someone that is a religious.
Dude that's religious kills man that's smashing his wife. He kills him because he wants revenge/he hates him - a human response. Motives like this aren't strictly religious or atheist in nature.
