I share some of your misgivings on the subject. 1) Humans are not axiomatically good. Right now, we seem to be hell-bent on proving ourselves axiomatically shit. I see no reason to exert myself to preserve humankind unless we improve.
2) Movement Atheism is entirely full of useless bastards that have totally failed to realise what religion is. As in, it's not just about providing explanations for Why Shit Happens (Because Gods), but also a social structure, cultural touchstoat, possibly also an organisation and/or hierarchy, a useful way to connect people and get them to pay taxes, a good way of setting up trading relations with your nearest neighbours, as well as a way of constructing an ethical wossname, and otter things as well.
Ideological purity is a common plague on movements, religions, political parties and so on in that fashion.
