Guess it depends on what you mean by major massacres.
I'm assuming you're gonna say Mao and Stalin and end it there. But Hideki Tojo killed nearly 5 million civilians, brutally murdering Chinese, not to mention the horrific war crimes, Pashas committed Genocide not just against one group as they did it against the Greeks, Armenians, and Assyrians, and Granted it spanned the 19th and 20th century but you have Leopold II's conquest of the congo that claimed millions of lives.
Again the issue with what you're saying is that Atheists were behind the worst tragedies, sans hitler. When again, massive communist governments were the cause. Atheism wasn't what got them to power either so throw that out the window.
I mean personally I don't agree with cajun, there was an atheist mass shooting not long ago. But there is an issue with religions which is that some peopel distort it, and manipulate people to doing things that's against human nature because they're promised a better afterlife. If you grew up dirt poor with no hope and someone told you there was a better way, all you had to do was kill someone, wouldn't you at least consider it. Religion often prays on the poor and uneducated, it's why Islam has it's radical issue is the middle east is getting money faster than they know what to do with it, and this happens.
