You're confusing atheism with religion...

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

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.
