The word "should" to me, just doesn't hold, under an Atheistic view point. There is no really "should do" objectively. And subjectively, we give value, with believe it's objective, even if we are wrong.
Everyone talks as if there is purpose and should and intrinsic value to actions, but is it really possible with naturalism?
Even the very existence of the "I" under naturalism, which is so dear, is conceptual, with no real entity. The entity is purely conceptual, there is no substance, no soul.
Perhaps the soul is the most manifest existence and perhaps why most societies believed in a soul.
