B. an atheist who's a cynical curmudgeon who thinks since he doesn't believe in god, he has no reason to act morally or be nice.

Choice B is describing a nihilist, not an atheist.

From my experience on these forums, many, if not most, atheists feel this way:

Quote:Most commonly, nihilism is presented in the form of existential nihilism, which argues that life is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value. Moral nihilists assert that there is no inherent morality, and that accepted moral values are abstractly contrived.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nihilism

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
