Mind you, other religions can sustain genocide as well. As can atheism. In the end it's just plain old tribalism with a different coat of paint.

Atheists are far less likely to be committing genocide. Atheist tend to value skepticism and science highly as well as logic and reason. Combining these generally leads to people who are humanists at their core.

I'm not aware of a single war that was ever carried out under the banner of atheism.

You are poorly educated...

Look at the USSR history and current regime in China. Literally doing the same genocide shit while being proud atheists.

I'd argue that they aren't so much atheist as they are fascist, as in, the leader is the god.
