Um, I'm a little slow and dense. What exactly does the OP have to do with or have implications for atheists/ism?

Inasmuch as there is any theoretical foundation for a social order, atheism seems to have only one option, and that is private property - yet that very foundation negates itself by collapsing into totalitarianism and war, by the nature of private property: the issuance of threats to control others' behavior.  This seems to me to be a severe problem that atheists might want to pay attention to, in order to solve it - that is, find a foundation for social order that does not collapse into totalitarianism and war, and thus risk the extinction of the human race - as any order predicated upon threats and violence must so collapse.  If atheism does not afford such a foundation, and if an individual atheist would like something better than the world promised by private property, that would be a reason to look elsewhere for a foundation for a better world.
