But did they do these things because they were atheist? In the name of atheist philosophy? No. There's no causal link there.

Contrast with say ISIS, where they do their evil because of (their interpretation of) their religion.

Nowhere. Why would it? We must have different definitions of atheism. It's merely the absence of belief in the existence of deities. It's not some kind of complete life philosophy.
