This would then be perceived as highly narcissistic. They are so used to thinking in these categories that they cannot fathom how abolishing God can mean anything but wanting to play God oneself. In a sense, I can understand the sentiment on some superficial level, since as an atheist, you more or less have to assume the position of moral arbiter yourself. Of course, we are not isolated islands but are part of a society which shapes us, and we assume this position not out of boundless self-love, but out of necessity.
Some Christians believe that the existence of their god is so obvious that atheists must secretly believe and lie about their disbelief. Of course, that doesn't make sense. Perhaps that has something to do with the accusation of narcissism also?

Just be sure to keep your fedora on during the orgy.
