Ok sorry to be picky but do you lack belief in gods or do you know gods don't exist?
Voldemort is one of my favourite characters from the series, he incarnates pretty well the fear of death humans have that is, in my opinion, the lead cause to believe in gods (that lead to belief in afterlives and heavens) - I'll admit when I stopped fearing my own death, I became an atheist.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
