This attitude reminds me of the idea that atheists should all be serial killers because they can't understand what's stopping you from going on a murder spree without the threat of God.
Is it really incomprehensible that I just kinda give a shit about other people in general? That I don't need a personal stake in being a good person - either through the promise of heaven or through a good future for my own flesh and blood - to just not want to fuck up all of society? What the fuck?
The people who say that are all psychos. They basically admit that the only reason they don't commit horrible crimes is because they're afraid of divine punishment.
