If this is the case, then everyone is just out for themselves with no regard for others. This would lead to the strong fucking up the weak.
It comes as no small surprise that many of the regimes that caused millions of deaths in the last century were nominally/practically atheist regimes--Hitler, Stalin, Mao and their small time imitators.
