...I've been offended by the pope!

"As we reflect on the sobering lessons of the atheist extremism of the twentieth century, let us never forget how the exclusion of God, religion and virtue from public life leads ultimately to a truncated vision of man and of society and thus to a “reductive vision of the person and his destiny"
Pope Benedict XVI in the UK

No, atheism does not make you an amoral, unethical misanthropist out to slaughter world populace any more than faith makes you a morally sound, ethical philanthropist out to save the world populace by default!

If you want to read up more on this speech of intolerance and its long debunked equation of "secularism and atheism = lack of virtue and morality = Nazism", Bad Astronomy's Phil has a good summary here.
