Probably because until very recently it was largely unacceptable to be an atheist. They aren't likely to denounce god when you would be burned at the stake, or shunned in the community for your troubles.
Except for Soviet Russia. Where the authorites destroyed churches and executed religious leaders. I tend to think that was more the result of Stalinisim than atheism though.
Anyway, look hard enough, I am sure you will find a heinous atheist act. There are crazies in every community.
