Christianity has a basis upon which to restrain sadistic behavior. Islam has some yet, the doctrine of abrogation may be problematic in claiming Qur'anically prescribed restraint.[1] Atheism offers none whatsoever—anything goes; malevolence or benevolence are equally up for grabs.
So... person Z claims that worldview A does not restrain sadistic behavior. Someone that follows worldview A performs sadistic behavior. Person Z's claim is not damaged.
Then... person Y claims that worldview B offers some restraint on sadistic behavior. Someone that follows worldview B performs sadistic behavior. Person Y's claim is somewhat damaged.
Finally... person X claims that worldview C offers solid restraint on sadistic behavior. Someone that follows worldview C performs sadistic behavior. Person X's claim is solidy damaged.
