I have no reason to doubt that you are going to behave in exactly the same way on this thread.
Tell yourself what you want. If you cannot add to the benefits of atheism that I have listed, so be it.

Why don't you copy paste some from a web site somewhere?

"Assuming that atheism is true", as you put it in your OP, then the key overarching "benefit" would presumably be that everybody would then know that it is true, right? Beyond that, everything would simply be what it is ~ i.e. reality ~ rather than be seen as "benefits".

It seems pretty clear that you are not "assuming that atheism is true" at all, but instead you are trying to be sarcastic in your characterization of things you disapprove of on account of the fact that you assume Christianity is true and better than atheism.

Fetchmyjunk has also defended genocide ~ as long as it is done for a reason he deems morally acceptable ~ whereas I have never met any atheist who had any equivocation at all about condemning genocide.

I think it is not morally wrong for God to take a life that he has given. You are welcome to think what you want.

Was it morally wrong for the Hebrews to commit genocide and then write an account of it in which they claimed their god figure had told them to do it?

And I take it Geester only picks the parts of the Bible that he likes, and prentends the global flood didn't exist.

You obviously have no clue what moral absolutism is do you?

"Assuming that atheism is true", would the supposed "global flood" then have not happened? Would that count as a "benefit"?

If their God figure doesn't exist and didn't tell them, it would only be subjectively wrong from your perspective of no moral absolutes. If He does in fact exist, he would have been using them to exercise his judgement, and then his judgement is absolute and no one can argue with his judgement.
