“I cannot conceive of a logical path that says because I am an atheist therefore it is rational for me to kill or murder or be cruel.”

BUT, if you are an athiest and you can obtain the objects of your desire by using murder or cruelty (and you know you wouldn't get caught) there is no logical reason NOT to use these methods.

Try telling that to an atheist. I think you’ll find the same respect and compassion for other individuals (in some cases more respect and compassion than the religious) as you’ll find anywhere else.

Atheists acknowledge their humanity and are constrained by the same compassion for their fellow man as any religion acknowledges. The only difference is that we believe that this compassion is not dictated to us, but created by us for the common good.
