That is to say; atheists, by their own decrees have no inherent value, nor do their religious counterparts.
What an amazingly infantile display of ignorance.

To the atheist the value of a person is self-ascribed...but if the person who's ascribing the value has no value, then there's no credence to that value!
An "inherent value" (whatever that might mean) would be devoid of any real value. My values are chosen, and therefore of great significance.
Value without election is nothing but reaction, and therefore sterile.
