I guess to have this discussion you will first need to define atheist and also god. I don't think I have the same definitions as you.

OK: "Most Commonly Asked Questions and Misconceptions for 500"...

The answer is... "It's the basis for all theist beliefs"

Please remember to phrase your response in the form of a question.

No, but I kill gods in video games and in conversation all the time.

Fixed.
If the hypothetical idea of an afterlife means more to you than the objectively true reality we all share, then you deserve no respect.

Let me clarify. Theists like Christians and Muslims believe God decides for them what is wrong and what is right in their Holy Books. As atheists, don't we decide this for ourselves, without resorting to God telling us what to do, we decide this for ourselves?

I believe a better way to phrase it would be: Atheists and/or secular humanists don't believe that a moral code comes in tablet form from on high, and believe that the best way to form a moral code and society is through discussion, reason, refinement, and evidence, not based on the word and whim of someone that has never even been proved possibly existent.
