You don't have much of a point. Non-atheists don't have fundamentally rational reasons for valuing truth either. I'd go so far and say that the fundamental reason for anything you do isn't rational by definition -
if it were rational, it could be derived from more fundamental reasons using logic, and would therefore not be the fundamental reason e.g. why you value truth.
As humans, we just value truth most of the time because that's just how we are. Who knows, maybe it's an evolutionary by-product that came with our survival instincts. Fake news about sabretooth cats got you removed from the gene pool pretty quickly back in the day.
