Actually, I can support it, by pointing out the wars over time that were driven by resource competition as opposed to those caused by religious schism or enmity. I don't have the time to do that in detail right now, and won't until probably tomorrow afternoon, but I will get to it.
In the meantime, it should be pointed out that atheism and altruism aren't antithetical, and to argue otherwise is an excluded-middle fallacy.
