Well, I find freedom for me to be "better" than slavery for me. Likewise, I find it "better" that my friends and family are free than slaves. Yes, it's a relative term, but I never claimed otherwise.
Good! I appreciate your straight-forwardness and honesty.
You illustrate my point - that all atheism is left to deal in is a relativism based on personal desires, with no justification for applying any moral code to the whole of humanity.

There is justification. It's just based upon relative principles that don't work well when you're face with opposition.
Then again, theists are the same way. They just think that they've found an absolute authority.
