[P-Marlowe]

My sense of it is that if it is done out of love, and not trying to obligate the Creator to owe them salvation, then it is not a "work".

That would mean that all the "good works" done by Atheists are accounted unto them as righteousness as they are not motivated by any desire to win brownie points from some diety.

So is the athiest's good works done out of selfless love buying him rewards in heaven? Is it accounted unto him as righteousness?

Atheists don't do works or deeds out of love for the Creator, since they don't believe in a creator. Their "works" are useless, since they reject what is obvious by nature.
