Atheism and Two of a Kind

One among the most popular atheists this world had seen is Karl Marx. A socialist and an anti-capitalist. He was brainy too. Then there is this man who changed this whole world with his technology, Bill Gates. A capitalist, from world’s number one capitalist country. Two people with one common thing, but with diverse thought patterns.

Bill Gates doesn’t believe in the conventional God theory. And hence this philanthropist doesn't extent his help or service in exchange of religion. He is very logical (obviously). A logical mind naturally hesitates to accept most of the God stories (but I think Gates has very good idea about most of these stories - the why is it there aspect)

I have observed one thing in many (successful) atheists, they believe in themselves. Their belief in their ‘self’ is very strong.

May be its unfortunate that they don’t realize that believing in the self is one way of believing in God and they are closer to understanding God than the conventional believers. (am not referring to the God of common man’s God theory).

Are they better believers than the believers? Aren’t they better humans than many believers?
