Anyway, atheism is ultimately a very empowering worldview. It teaches us that the responsibility for making this world a better place for everybody is on our own collective shoulders
It does nothing of the sort. It's a very weak worldview with the sole purpose of teaching the doctrine that there is no deity. It gives authority to nothing at all, except perhaps to the conscience of an individual to do as it pleases knowing it has nothing to answer to, except the law if caught. It serves us no standard whatsoever and promotes one thing and one thing only and that is a disbelief in the existence of deity.
I thought you wouldn't lie to yuorself?
