Are atheists are too egotistical(like theists like to say) to let go of their personal comfort for the idealistic/perfect ideas of theism where everybody strive to get in heaven by doing "good deeds"?

What do you mean by personal earthly comfort? If by that you mean it provides a method to differentiate reality from myth/fantasy, I would agree.
If you mean science is used to improve humans quality of life, well, that depends on the applications from what science has discovered. I can think of several applications that did not improve the quality of life or provide comfort.
