I'm sure that was a great comfort to their victims."
Of course it wasn't. Neither is it a reason to bring atheism into the argument. You might as well say Stalin drank coffee, or Mao enjoyed bird watching, and imply that had something to do with their odorous doings, or any arbitrary thing they might have done or believed. Its a straw man argument designed to divert attention from religions role in numerous other atrocities.
