You hit the nail on the head. Atheists can be good people.
The problem lies in that if you remove God (The God of the Bible, ie Judeo-Christian), then there is no higher power than the state.... or science (which has been proven to be easily corrupted and used politically).
When you no longer answer to God, it becomes very easy to operate as though you (or your cause) is the highest power.
