Ummm yes....For example, Communists murdered and enslaved millions of people because they held religious beliefs and refused to believe in their own version of atheism.
Also, atheists by definition do not believe in the after life. Thus, they rely on a view of morality to keep people in line. Many people throughout history have used an atheistic and nihilistic view to justify their own crimes.
