Really? That makes no sense to me. Atheism, as classically defined means a person who believes there is no God - however that is defined. Concomitantly, they also believe there is no afterlife. Now, people are free to have whatever beliefs they wish, but to actively believe in this absence of things others believe they have evidence or experience of, with nothing on your side but your own statement of belief, isn't actually logical. Agnosticism is logical without personal experience, but atheism is just another unproven belief system.
For instance, the whole premise of the thread is that a certain subset of poker players defined only by their country of origin, are somehow as a group, better players than all others or all other subsets.
So far, I don't see compelling evidence that the premise is correct, so I'm not sure discussing why it would be true when no one knows it is, is logical, either.
Also: dictators, repression, wars and self-righteous revisionism suck.
