The issue you have then seems to be that you don't personally see a reason for something to exist if it doesn't align itself with your personal value judgements? Well, pro-tip, there is very little in the universe that gives a shit whether or not you think we should be anything at all, or whatever or not any given thing "introduces a real freedom". That's important to you, not any force of nature.
Assuming everything is already inside your brain, are you sure you've "woken up" at all? Assuming it isn't, that still doesn't mean that you've "woken up". Down this road lay only tears.
What any of this has to do with atheism is beyond me.......
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
