As another life long atheist, I disagree. Fundamentally, the problem is that we have so many authoritarians, dependapotami, welfare queens, and others with a Slave Mentality, that they require a Master to take care of them. We are not a free society because we have too many slaves.

This is Nietzsche's point about "God is dead and we have killed him." When you kill the very concept of God, you are required to take responsibility for that murder, and you must adopt a Master Mentality to live your own life. You can't replace God once he is dead.

These are slaves finding new masters to act as their dead God.

We have to teach the slaves how to live without a master, and to take responsibility of their own lives, rather than pass it off.
