Atheism can’t have an ultimate crime. There is no final arbiter of who deserves what.

True, as while atheists can be relatively moral people, there is not appeal to a supreme transcendent authority, which, even allowing for some interpretation, sets the standard for morality, and even valid reasoning.

"True, as while atheists can be relatively moral people,"

Really? Moral compared to what? Atheism has no objective basis for morality. For the Atheist there is no objective morality, only personal preference and social convention.

As long as one narrowly defines 'morals' as abiding and following the laws of the land (in which they are living).
