So either...

8a. There idea of relative value is meaningless.

Or...

8b. There is something of higher value than any particular human life.

Since either 8a or 8b could be a valid conclusion, I do not consider this an argument in favor of God; but rather, the revealing of an existential choice.  Someone can be justified in believing either, but the one he or she chooses expresses something about who they are and what they actually believe.

You are right, well, we can just say "value is not meaningless" and then 8b would follow.

Many atheists do not follow their "lack of belief" to its logical conclusion. They think it is possible to consider some things praiseworthy and other less so. And yet they have no reason to support how that can be.
