no, that's not my view, i was presenting an internal critique of yours.
i believe humans (and babies) are imagebearers of God and have inherent value.
under atheism, we're no different from cockroaches in the grand scheme of things.

that's actually a powerful verse.
notice it's saying outside of the context of soteriology that race is as real and meaningfully part of the created order as male and female.

meanwhile, under atheism, race is a made up arbitrary social convention.

you don't have a "people" under atheist materialism.
under Christianity, the different nations are part of God created order, they have an ontological reality as real as sexual distinctions according to Galatians 3:28.
under atheist materialism, the groupings of "white, black, asian, etc" are arbitrary clusters of phenotypes, biological accidents with no deeper meaning.
there's no covenant, no destiny, no metaphysical glue binding a people together.
you're just a temporary arrangement of atoms with a shared evolutionary history.
culture is just a memeplex, heritage is just a fairy tale your neurons tell themselves.
under Christianity, nations are part of a divine architecture. distinct, real, purposeful, woven into arcs of salvation history.
atheist materialism flattens that into tribal noise with no telos beyond survival and reproduction.
