It simply isn't reasonable to speak of someone who believes in a "spirit or life force" as an atheist.

Where in the disbelief of gods does it indicate a disbelief in a life force? Are you assuming that force to be supernatural? Theists need to grasp the point that atheism defines a single point of disbelief, that of a disbelief in gods. It indicates nothing further.

You don't have to claim any stance, set of rules, or guidelines, its whatever your personal see as a reasonable objective person. If an atheist going out and kills people it doesn't say anything about other atheists.

Exactly right, because their atheism only describes a single disbelief. Did they kill because of their disbelief in gods? Then you might have a case for inditing other atheists. However it's more likely they'll kill because of something they do believe or some mental aberration, like thinking god told them to kill.
