As an atheist, I still found this interesting. Everyone should be able to look at themselves in a critical light. Mr Liddle's main point isn't necessarily to bash atheists, rather it's to try to demonstrate that being an atheist doesn't somehow make you a better person. I don't agree with everything he says, but it's still worth a watch. I think he manages, for the most part, to remain quite objective.

Description [YT]: The "Trouble with Atheism" is an hour-long documentary on atheism, presented by Rod Liddle. It aired on Channel 4 in December 2006. The documentary focuses on criticizing atheism. The programme includes interviews with a number of prominent scientists, including atheists Richard Dawkins and Peter Atkins and Anglican priest John Polkinghorne. It also includes an interview with American Atheists president Ellen Johnson.

The host, as many religious folks do, brings up Hitler (so obviously a Catholic, but let's not get sidetracked) and Stalin asserting they they were atheists and that atheism was the reason for what they did. I really wish people would think a little more critically than this. As Dawkins notes near the end none of the atrocities of those times were committed in the "name" of atheism or in the effort to deny god. They were done because of horrible people in power. Period.
