He's wrong about it not being self-serving.
It's still self-serving: it makes him feel better and/or smarter than a theist. Intellectual elitism.
Plenty of theistic people do the "right thing" because it is the right thing to do and they hold themselves to that level of accountability. They may think they are going to heaven or something of the like, but that's not their motivation.
I'm not saying he's wrong, he makes lots of good points, but atheism is no better in this regard.
