Now, to show you how absurd this argument is. Everywhere you use the word "atheist" replace it with "Muslim" or "Jew" or "Christian" or "Communist" or "Mexican".
This is designed, to make us answer so you the theist go "SEE SEE SEE"
Now, the reality of this example is that people are a range. And even if all scientists were Christian, and they found a meteor they knew would hit the planet in a month or a week, the debate of informing the public vs not informing them would still happen.
This is just a mere attempt to create self importance to your personal predilections to falsely pretend that your position is important to evolution.
If you want to know why morality is evolutionary and biological, and not a mere thought exercise "The New Atheism" By Victor Stenger, explains why, no matter what our labels are, these types of issues are not a matter of labels, but individuals in a group and how the individual and group dynamic interact.
Mark, instead of postulating the question using "atheist" in your example, you should have simply said "what would you do", you did not, which means you are trying to placate your sense of superiority rather than accept that we as species are not separate or special because of the things we might personally like.
Now. As far as a god not existing. I do think I am right to a very high degree. But I am not superior merely because I think I am right.
The truth in these examples is that labels don't determine what an individual will do, because we are still ultimately individuals.
