Well, many theists clearly believe in 'might makes right", at least in god's case.
God is so powerful, he can do what he likes and we can't stop him.
If he existed and was anything like as described, that would be very true. However, it's not god that's doing all the prickish things that some theists (and some atheists) do, it's people. People are claiming divine authority because God would want this kind of thing done if he got off his ass and did something.
Well, he's not getting off his ass. So everyone should take ownership of their actions and opinions. If people try and be shitty to other people, we can stop them. Because they are not God. Clearly, we can impede them, and god's attempts, just by having man made rules based on non-religious common decency.
