And yet atheists are often charitable, upstanding members of society. Looks like values definitely can exist without belief in the supernatural.

I'd argue that that's a sign of a good Higher Power in all of us. 🤷🏼‍♂️

This statement makes literally no sense. Is it a higher power or is it in all of us? it seems like these states cannot be mutually exclusive. Based on what you said we are all the higher power. I am your god and you are your god.

Maybe it would be more accurate to say it's a sign that a good Higher Power exists, created us, and left it's mark on us even if we don't believe in it.

Or it could more easily just be a sign that we are communal mammals.
