The boasts of atheists (Atheist self-deception)

I curious as to what the quote was a response to, its not really very honest unless we have context don't you think? only if the the quote is to the statement that you can only find meaning with belief in god, and the person you quoted says thats not so how is it not honest from thier viewpoint? they can enjoy life without giving every little thing meaning? if there is no joy in the mundane whats the point?

what do you consider boasting in the business world?
something like "i am an excellent typist"?
i don't really think someone saying they are a good typist is bad if they can do 100 wps or morenor do i really think its boastful to say that you are person of exemplary morals, i think the word is a bit highbrow maybe but his point was to defend agenst the typical fundi arguement that athiests can't be moral without god, at least thats the most common point of saying you can be moral as an athiest.
if you find what he said obnoxious, well i;ll have to be blunt and say get over it, people can be moral outside the box and i wouldn't call making a statement boasting if its true
