No. There are many worthy values at the heart of contemporary western atheism. That christianity sees fit to take complete credit for them by fiat assertion and the observation that they, too, were smart enough to take advantage of them is not a problem, nor does it mean those values are inherently christian. They're values, attributes: the fact that they can be applied to christians doesn't automatically mean that they belong to christianity, or that they bear the christian curse and hence can't be utilized by atheists.
For example, all christians breathe air. Doesn't mean breathing air is a christian thing to do.
