re: Someone
Perhaps. Atheism could be a universally proven system of belief that would unite people; the problem is that A.) it is currently too militaristic B.) It's adherents are predominantly the scum and outcasts of society (Bitter, angry individuals who accuse gods/religion/austerity for all their' faults and failings.)
Furthermore, average atheists push for radical changes including forcing religious people to adhere. These are, in terms of normality, atheist adherents' most significant problems - arrogance and hypocrisy.

By contrast, the Bible provides clear instructions for living an effective life that benefits the most people and as such one could extract the basic tenets of the Bible and adapt them into secular society. The problem with this idea is that it places the accountability on other humans as opposed to a deservingly superior and more powerful being (deity), creating inequality in power/ rights which would, in turn, have a negative impact on societal life quality/ enjoyment.
