While you are here, worry about the people around you.

I don't personally believe a suggestion that atheistic folks are more aware or concerned [than theistic folks] about how their actions impact those they care about in the here and now is fair, nor vice versa. Too broad a brush. Too easy to find saints and sinners at both ends of the spectrum, and at all points in between. That may not be what you were suggestion, but I think it's implied by extension.
