No, people who don’t believe in shared humanity, in the brotherhood of man are responsible for much of the atrocity. That includes not only atheists but other “exclusionists”. We can neither condemn nor exonerate atheists or any other group as a whole. There are bad religious folks and bad atheists, and good ones also.

I totally agree.

I'm a big believer in human solidarity; I believe it's manifestation in most people is more responsible for charity and the helping of fellow man than which ancient text you choose to hold up as divinely inspired.

True. There is one thing for sure about religious belief (and/or non-belief); it is never an automatic indicator for character or good nature.
