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.
We have no responsibility to relieve you of your superstition and delusions. The ball would not have been in our court even if you had one.

Except hardly can the concept of justice, morality, and compassion inculcated by his religion do the rest of mankind any favors.
In all likelihood, had all Muslims lost their sense of justice, morality, and compassion as propounded by their religion, the Muslim world would be a kinder, more just, more truly compassionate as well as more progressive and more productive world than it is today.
