Do atheists believe in the existence of friendship?

Shades of randian free will in here.  The notion that the only real or actual freedom we possess is whether to employ whatever agency we possess.  We are still who we are, it's still going to do what it's going to do.

I'm not so sure this is meaningfully different from the freedom an ai possesses. What's with all the design and "Company of the Will " nonsense, it doesn't seem to be doing anything, just a dangling assertion.
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!
