Until you can give an example of some delusional or contradictory belief that atheists hold...no one is going to know what you're talking about. It's even less clear how your beliefs, in that regard, inform your previously stated beliefs that there would be some moral difference if your superstitions were false.
Bluntly, I wouldn't boast about the fundamental laziness of my moral position as I compared it to other rigorous and systematic appraisals...but that's just me.

It’s much easier for me to accept this as a theist, than it is for you to accept this as an atheist, regardless if we can or can’t make a logical connection between the two.Since no one has to commit to any of those statements or views in order to be a realist, why would it matter if a person did or didn't commit to those views? Meanwhile, other realists can make logical connections, you may feel that the ease with which you accept something is relevant, but even if you do find it easy..you're at a disadvantage to those other realists who can do what you cannot, and need not accept what you have, regardless of how easily you've done so.
