it’s been used as an excuse to be horrifically shitty over and over
Just because something is used as an excuse to do something bad doesn’t mean that the actions that were taken are justified within Christianity. One has nothing to do with the other. I could identify as X and then do Y even if Y is explicitly forbidden by X. Does that mean that X is responsible for Y? No it doesn’t. The person is responsible. They are also a hypocrite.
Atheists /secularists do kind and selfless things all the time.
That’s fine but Atheists and Secularists borrow their understanding of good and evil from Christianity. There’s no objective moral standard for atheists and secularists.
