Is reading Aristotle any more "valuable" to a human life than reading the Bible? How, exactly, is the belief that this is your one and only life more valuable than the belief in an eternal soul? Is a three-hour session of Project 1999 more valuable than a three-hour session of Church?

It takes some serious narcissism to believe that you can answer any of those questions.
Hence why atheism promotes doing good for goodness sake. Religion tries to sell people on a superficial belief that you'll be rewarded at the end. Hence why Atheists can be deemed more selfless than religious people.
