and plenty of faithful Christians doing very bad things in the world.[/quote]

No kidding. Plenty of faithful of all religions. And plenty of atheists.

Wouldn’t you agree?

I would disagree that many atheists are doing bad things "in the name of atheism" but I would say plenty of religious people of many religions are doing bad things in the name of their religion.

So many holy wars. So many people using the bible to subjugate certain people. [/quote]

The 20th century saw the most war deaths ever, many by atheists such as Stalin and Lenin.[/quote]

Actually that is true some treat atheism as a religion.

That’s not atheism. It anti-theism and/or secularism.[/quote]

Atheists in countries that feature state mandated atheism are responsible for hundreds of millions of deaths of their own people.

How can either religious people or atheist people be blamed for the actions of others?

Currently, the countries with state-mandated atheism are China, North Korea, and Vietnam. While Cuba was previously an atheist state, it officially declared itself a secular state in 2019.

The Soviet Union had a policy of state atheism, meaning the government actively sought to eliminate religion and promote irreligion or atheism as the official state ideology.

Lenin was an atheist who strongly believed in the necessity of combating religion and was critical of those who sought to integrate religious ideas with communism.

Lenin's policies and decrees laid the groundwork for the more extensive anti-religious campaigns under Stalin.

Still that is not atheism it’s anti-theism and/or secularism.[/quote]

It's anti-theism [against religion].  Secular just means not religious.  [/quote]
