First, please do introduce yourself in the appropriate subforum. It's netiquette to let us know who you are.
Other than that I have no problem with answering your questions as an individual, since we are not a group. The only thing we share is the disbelief in any deity. Other than that we're individuals, who seek their own ways in life.
So here's my individual answer. Of course my family is important. The most important part of my life. Country, not so much. I consider patriotism to be one of the poisons of the 20th century which keeps us from making a united effort to better the world for everyone. And science. It's not as if science was something to believe in. It is exciting to observe it's findings, but it's not godlike as you seem to insinuate. Personally I'm highly interested in the cognitive abilities of other species. There's some really interesting research going on within the last decades.
