You are entitled to your opinion.

Hard to believe that "Hand Me Down World" is 55 years old! I played it on a 45 in my garage "discotheque" in 1970, when I was 12 going on 13, then played the living crap out of the album (went through two vinyl copies, and eventually got it on CD too.)
As for the original question, my POV is that it isn't a contest to see who can be the "best" atheist, or the "best" believer. We are who we are.

Yeah, people who don't believe in sky wizards and sky kingdoms are usually very much down to Earth.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

The best atheist would be someone who is willing to make the whole world be what they want it to be....
