> In my own experience such people are often far from objectively moral or good people themselves, and overcompensate some deep issues.

It is very true in my experience. It is also very not true in my experience.

FWIW I’m an atheist. Curious what you mean by issues-riddled mind. What issues? What’s the unhealthy place? There is no one person I’d accuse of lacking morality through godlessness, but I do see a trend. Most particularly in the people and communities who would have previously chosen godliness and replaced it with nothing, not those who previously would have chosen godlessness.
