    Nobody ever raped a kid and used “but I’m a leader of the local board game club therefore I shouldn’t be punished” as an excuse.

    how about “I am the executive of a film studio”? did they use that as an excuse? “I am rich as fuck”?

    Nobody ever did any of that in the name of atheism either.

    What about the purges against religious people carried out by communist dictatorships? That’s not in the name of atheism? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Christians_in_the_Soviet_Union

    atheist doctrine doesn’t believe in bodily autonomy.

    atheist doctrine doesn’t believe in anything. you can say whatever you want as part of it and it will be due to “religion is wrong, thus doing X has no moral consequence, there is no god”

    your thing provides excuse, justification, motivation, direct orders, all of it, the whole package.

    you can blame anything. Cartoons, video games, etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbine_High_School_massacre
