In other words can you honestly say that any particular social reformer or hero stood up and said that their atheism compelled them to fight for their cause? Please give me an example.
Again, if you're going to claim the German Christians who resisted the Third Reich out of their faith, you're going to have to acknowledge the milliions who actively supported it despite their faith.
If Christianity truly impelled men to the best, the number of resisters would be much higher than it was.

This is rot. Judeo-Christian values are certainly tied to the culture that formulated them ... just like any other set of values. The only reason you claim they "point back to Nature and Nature's God." (whatever that gobbledygook means) is because they feel natural to you.
Christianity does not lead to any exalted morality. It is merely one more worldview (albeit based on superstition and a Bronze-Age morality) created by men.
If Christianity led to exalted morality, whence sin? Why are the prisons stuffed with Christians? Why are so many Christians so fucking immoral?
