Two things - atheistic how? and who are you to say what human nature is? now we're moving strongly onto genes vs environment ground and thats pretty damn disputable. And I said before most recent thought has put more emphasis on the effect of environment rather than your genes on your mentality and personality. There is no consensus which says humans are inherently selfish.
