Trouble is, my atheism is irrelevant to materialism, and humanism. I just don't believe in gods. You're talking about my worldview, at this point, not some atheist worldview.
If I believed in gods I would believe them to be made of the same stuff that the universe is made of, intereacting with the universe...and I still wouldn't write their laws or cast their votes in government. Sort of related to the greater good all by itself. There are plenty of things I feel as strongly about as some believer feels about their gods - none of which take precedence over the greater good. I think that your religion is palpably and consequentially evil, for example..but recognize that it couldn't be done away with without doing you great harm. It would be a question of trying to right one wrong with another.
