1. You can rationally justify belief in a value of a human being in the framework of Atheism (and I am using this definition as in non-belief in supernatural gods).
2. You can rationally justify you being the same person as a child with that framework, that despite all the changes, you are the same person.
3. You can rationally justify your actions being linked to who you are and there is a such thing as "better" or "worse" when it comes to humans.
4. You can rationally justify the belief in justice with your framework.
5. You can rationally justify the nature of love that has language that judges all things and gives value to all things from your framework.
I am not saying you have to do all 5. You can do 1. Trust me, my faith will fall and shred, if you can and I'm not joking. It will shred.
So ball is in your court.
EVOLUTION...... There is your value. No magic needed to explain life.
Skip your romance theory of life. That was then, this is now. It was understandable humans wrote that crap back then, but we have much better data about life and the universe.
