Atheists often subscribe to the secular humanist idea that it is far more ethical to do what is right simply because you feel that it's right, rather than because you fear divine punishment.

The common argument that Nazism and Stalinism were atheistic in nature and that their violence stemmed from that nature ignores more recent examples of what they actually were; Personality cults. Hitler, Stalin, Lenin, and more recently despots like Kim Jong Il and Fidel Castro were or are at the center of governments which enforce reverence unto them as though they were deities.  Regardless of this it is obvious that no democracy has ever elected a leader who did not believe in God or a higher power.  Thus it can be concluded that God guides the leaders of democracies.
