It matters because without God, all things necessarily become relative. It is the reason why Atheists, moreso than any other group, push for progressive ideology based on a "what feels good" moral ground.
Of course, it becomes exceedingly difficult in today's age, when we are so isolated and protected what is actually real, to interact and develop that relationship with the spiritual world to be able to believe that - let alone build an entire moral structure around such concepts.
One of the things Molymeme used to have to contend with as an atheist ancap was that the people most hostile to his political philosophy agreed with him on religion (fellow atheists), and the people most agreeable to his politics were the most hostile to his religious philosophy (evangelical Christians). So he had to pick a side, and I think ultimately he decided that he'd rather be an atheist among ancap Christians than an ancap among progressive atheists.

Stephan Molyneux aka Molymeme
He ought to conduct actual spiritual practices and see how that manifests in his life before he says something as bold as there is no god.
