Penn Jillette of the Penn and Teller magic act had the perfect answer to your problem, but I cannot find it readily on YouTube. He once described the following.
Basically, religionists seem to love to present a scenario in which an atheist family suffers a home invasion attack where the atheist male head of the family is tied up and has to suffer seeing each and every member of his family being extremely brutally mistreated and then most brutally murdered in front of his eyes and at every single unimaginable act being told that since he is an atheist then there is nothing whatsoever wrong with what he is witnessing.
Well FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING PERVERTED PIECE OF SHIT!!!!
The point that Penn Jillette was making is that there are things that are obviously wrong, such as harming other people that everybody would agree was wrong to do regardless of any stupid god ideas and the like.
So then your entire attempt at a point to make is just ... nothing.
