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.

Technically, that's true. But as a practical matter the philosophical positions presented by 90% of AF atheists are nihilistic so it is fair to generalize. Personally, I believe that all atheistic philosophy is ultimately nihilistic or at least I haven't yet seen one that doesn't devolve into nihilism upon close scrutiny.
