Name one moral act a theist is capable of, that an atheist is not, excluding religious dogma?

The OP does not offer that scenario, it is exploring the motivation and if the underlying motivation can be compared to what it is to have faith.

Does this free a person from considering that there may be deeper moral or ethical responsibilities, when all we have to use as boundaries, are the materialistic trends?

It was who premised the observation, so I am asking you to evidence the assertion you keep implying that atheism might an excuse to be immoral. Unlike the woolly unfalsifiable platitudes that we usually get, this one is a falsifiable claim.

If there is no moral act outside of religious dogma or doctrine that a theists can do, that an atheist cannot, then your inference is wrong, and the question answered.

Well?
