Correct; or it may turn out that you're there and I'm not. I'm not saved by my theism any more than you are lost by your atheism. If anything my expectations are higher for taking the name of Christian.

Since Christians see themselves as spiritual Jews. I've replaced the words Jews and Gentiles in the following verses with Christian and Atheist to make the point clear:

"For when atheists, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their thoughts accuse or even excuse them on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus." -Romans 2:14-16

"But if you call yourself a Christian and rely on the law and boast in God and know his will and approve what is excellent, because you are instructed from the law; and if you are sure that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of children, having in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth—you then who teach others, do you not teach yourself? While you preach against stealing, do you steal? You who say that one must not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? You who boast in the law dishonor God by breaking the law. For, as it is written, 'The name of God is blasphemed among the atheists because of you.'" -Romans 2:17
