If all 7 billion people were atheists, you'd still have a battle over resources, and resources are all life is about. To forget that is to play into the very problem humanity continues to fight over.
I am an atheist and yes, I do not believe in a god. But labels do not constitute evolution, they only describe our personal wishes. All humans still need food, shelter and a means to survive.
Labels only describe position. Labels do not automatically make an individual good or bad.
I'm well aware of all that. By rational, all I meant is that my beliefs about the universe are contingent on the truth, and will change to reflect new knowledge. That doesn't make me good or bad, or correct all the time, or anything, really. But it does make me, me. And it's a useful tool for experiencing the world.
