Many other types of atheists, such as Nietzsche, accept that no such principles are warranted in a godless universe. I consider the later position intellectually honest. Again, it seems like you just want to nit-pick.
-and now, more to the source of your own misapprehension. Secular humanism isn;t short on warrant(lol) for these things..you simply don;t agree - but at least secular humanism posits these things. You don;t. You believe in god dignity, not human dignity. You believe in some sort of god enforced in-equality, not human equality. OFC you agree with Nietzche..because deep down you're an incurable nihilist.
These things may be intellectual honest positions for you (being incredibly generous)...but they would not be for me, for atheism in general, or for secular humanism.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
