A typical theist doesn’t mind believing in miracles, said religious if approved by certain religious people, privileged by the high class.

A typical theist doesn’t mind obeying rules if said inspired by a god and approved by certain religious people, privileged by the high class.
A typical atheist doesn’t mind obeying rules if said inspired by certain great ancestors (who are usually supposed representing ideals for the human race) and approved by privileged Elite.
 

[1]: Darwin kept his theory secret until near his death. It was not received well by the elite. Einstein toiled in obscurity until experiments revealed his genius. Public money / taxes now fund science in the U.S. The days of patronage by elites and monarchs are long gone.

[2] : Rules? can you be more specific?

You are right the way you understood my word 'Elite'.
I chose this word (Elite in case of non-religious) to refer to the top decisions makers in the world, speaking politically and scientifically as well.
Politics that was started in the form of religions is the oldest art known by men by which a few persons can control legitimately the rest of their society with minimum problems. Today, the political artists (producers and directors working behind the scenes, also their great actors called politicians) use religions as a cover up of their diabolic plans; the best one, so far, is their international endless daily series known as 'War on Terror'. We all witnessed how in less than 24 hours the previous bogyman 'Communists' was replaced by 'Terrorists'. This was possible when both the American and Russian Elite agreed, under the table of course, to divide the main resources of the world between them. And the men on power of every other country were instructed to present themselves as ally to America or Russia, but not both. And they are promised to protect their positions if they play well in the series 'War on Terror'. So, one country after another, the unbeatable/unreachable terrorists are allowed to be raised locally or be imported from abroad so that they can spread the 9/11 terror against the powerless men on bottom, civilians.
On the other hand, the terrorist crimes against millions of people (we are just at the beginning of the World Terror War against civilians, as the American and Russian administrations keep telling) are now fully justified after sacrificing, in daylight and as high as possible in order for the entire world to witness, just a few thousands of innocent citizens in NYC (since no one in the world dares even to imagine attacking America, mainly a silly attack against its civilians). In other words, believing that the heroes of the 9/11 terror are psychopaths and the actual uncounted number of terrorist groups (actually forming a huge army prepared from 2002 to 2010) are trained, supported and funded (to the point they are threatening the two greatest nations!) by psychopaths too, won't differ a lot from believing that the human race started by Adam & Eve. As the latter story has its defenders in millions, it is natural that the story of the new incredible psychopaths has also its great defenders (theists and atheists, I guess).

In other words, they are twins when a nation has both.
Today's Chinese are likely the most rational people. They are supposed to be guided by one ruling system; an earthly one.
Answering: What is my point?
