Sure we are.
I value my life, the life of my family and friends, and by reason of being a human being, biased toward my own species, I have the ability to extrapolate value on to others I do not personally know.
All it takes is a bit of empathy, our evolutionary past, and logic and reason.
There is zero reason to posit a deity in order to value human beings.
What scientific evidence is there to prove human worth or value?
Did you base your belief in human value on science or other then that?
Do you believe humans before scientific method were justified in believing in human value or not?
