Some of the most unselfish and nicest people I know don't believe in God. So I don't buy this argument.
However, to me personally, just as relationship to parents is highly more important, God has a special right, he deserves something more, not only due to his exalted status, but because we belong to him in a way more then how things belong to us or our children belong to us, and related to us. He is the closest of all beings. And that is why humans over all know they ought to value God more then anything else.
Our relationship to God is the most important thing, how we should respect, awe, love, and desire towards Him. How we care about his pleasure.
Being good for sake of others I find is easy. Being good furthermore because of God's face in everything and for his pleasure, and out of love for Him, that takes more sincerity.
And it's sincerity towards God is what the ranks upon ranks differ from. Also seeing the divine light in creation is important, and not to alienate your love of God from people.
I think love is special and sacred, and when applied to the most beloved of all beings, it can have magical transformation.
That said Atheists often are unselfish and love their fellow man. However if they have hatred towards the Sacred being, their actions might be futile. Not all Atheists have a problem with God but some do.
May God heal our hearts.
