I personally believe that atheism is a far more effective ‘opiate of the people,’ in that it’s comforting for many to think that their actions have no lasting consequence, nobody is looking over them and watching what they do. It’s ok to be self-reliant and self-sufficient and proud of what you’ve done.

That’s true. Living life sovereign and free from a god entitles you to a certain sense of accomplishment.
