I cannot speak for all atheists, only for myself. If by "reason" you mean a purpose imposed by a deity there is none since there is no evidence that said deity exists.

The burden of proof rests upon the one making the claim. By definition the claim is that the null hypothesis is false, e.g., "time is not the same for all observers" -- Albert Einstein. The null hypothesis cannot be stated in the negative. To do so is the
onus probandi fallacy, shifting the burden of proof.
The null hypothesis, avoiding negatives, is "German society's morality remained the same as other nations." The argument given is the Nazi atrocities. These were the acts of Nazi leaders and not German society.

The social contract is based on the interests of the species as a whole, i.e., humanity, and not the interests of a "self" or an individual.
