I understand why there is niceness. I don’t understand why I should be nice if God doesn’t exist.
Because being nice feels nice. Humans are a social species. We can’t survive alone, and so we evolved gut feelings that make us behave nicely to each other (at least inside the in-group).

For the minority of humans for whom being nice doesn’t feel nice, is it okay for them to do whatever feels nice to them?
Yes, but it’s also okay for the the rest of us to avoid them, warn others about them, or imprison them.
