In fact, it very easily could be said that law abiding, nice, non theists are inherently "better" people because they are law abiding and nice without some supernatural deity watching their every move.

I would disagree. If there is no God then to be anything less than totally hedonistic makes no sense.

And yet, somehow here I am, married man, good job, moral, just, fair, friendly, etc. Divorce/adultery rates are equal among the pious. There are good christians and there are bad christians. There are good atheists and there are bad ones. But everyone knows killing, stealing, and lying are wrong. Pretty simply stuff here.
