MK ugggggggggggg.
We get that you like the idea of good being handed down to you, but so what. We say the same to Catholic Lady and RR too.
Look, we are not going to have you arrested anymore than Catholic Lady, but it is still your own naked assertion, just like we'd say to her.
Atheists don't do good things to glorify invisible friends. We don't do good out of fear of threat or promise of reward. We see doing the right thing as something that you should do, even when nobody is watching.
And again, the idea of a "Creator" god was around long before Islam, Christianity and Jewish religions.
It's not going to kill you to consider that there is no God. It won't turn you into a serial killer, it will just mean you accepted this is it.
I do invite you and Catholic Lady to joint the Dark Side, worship Darth Vader, we have cookies and beer.
AND we we wont rat you out if you illegally rip the tag off your mattress and resell it.

Now, can I offer you a great recipe for barbecue kittens?
