You're confusing atheism with religion...

Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni:

"You did WHAT?  With WHO?  WHERE???"

You don’t get to decide the value of things for other people, MK.

Neo makes a clear appeal to consequences, yet he maintains he's not in it for the swag. I call bullshit.

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!

Tbh even Einstein had a problem with atheists. He refused to be called one, and even said that fanatical atheists are like slaves.

Adoption of an idea need not be fully based on foreseeable outcomes. If one believes atheism to be true then one should embrace/accept what follows from that position, for good or ill. Similarly for Christianity, Hinduism, etc. Christianity asserts that despite natural physical differences in ability, health, intelligence, strength etc. or circumstantial differences in wealth, prestige, power, etc. every human being is existentially equal and deserving of all the dignity afforded to them by virtue of being God's children. Secular humanism has adopted this principle...just because...and could as easily dispense with it...just because.
