When theists hear atheists say "we are not special", they don't seem to understand that includes atheists as well. I don't even like it when I hear some atheists say, "When we become the majority".......No no no no no no no. If one accepts that our range of behaviors bot cruel and compassionate are in our species, that includes us as well. And even we cannot think we are above or separate from evolution. It is still up to humans to seek as much diplomacy and to avoid harm as much as possible and to know and accept that the ride starts and ends the same way for everyone.
