Atheist believe in Justice, They believe in what the world justifies and allows. Atheist do not believe in Gods Justice it is to hard for them to handle. It means changing your life style to Gods standards not the worlds.

Do atheists believe in Justice?

I understand.
But Julian Assange is an atheist and he sacrificed his own life for the sake of justice.
By exposing the war crimes committed by an elitist gang of warmongers.
So many of the faithful mistakenly believe that morality
(including justice) comes only from belief in their god/gods.
We heathens have morality that is inborn, & learned socially.
BTW, we observe that the faithful are quick to abandon their
vaunted morality at the drop of a hat. Some believe they go
to Heaven because they believe, not because of good acts.
Perhaps others find sin all the more tempting because it's
forbidden.

No. It depends on how good they were on covering tracks, fabricating alibi's, etc.
I think there are more then enough examples of very wealthy people who didn't get away with their bad behavior, simply because they failed at properly covering tracks and fabricating alibi's.
Sure, being resourceful can certainly help in doing that and / or make it easier.
I don't think that's true

Very Very few have true Faith in God. Many will say they do, but their life style says different. To have true Faith in God one has to change their standards of living to Gods standards. Many cannot do that. The world has blinded them in believing and obeying God.
Even cats know that OJ Simpson killed his own wife...
money opens every door. He was acquitted.
Imagine if he had been poor.

Not sure why you bring up nazi's.
It's never fair when somebody gets away with bad behavior.
This is why we invest so much in forensics, detectives, researchers, justice departments, etc.
There's a whole societal machinery dedicated to making sure as little people as possible get away with bad stuff.
The Bible says: do not harm others in any way.
How many people harm others, even indirectly?
The bankers who destroy economies and lives because of money-hunger, the politicians who pander them, and protect their interests.
So many people could change their life, by simply not doing.
Do you know how many people committed suicide because of bankers' greed?

I don't know enough about the OJ case.
But in any event, finding a couple examples is not enough to imply a general rule
For every example you can find, I'm sure I can find a counter example of where the rich guy was convicted regardless of being richt
Believers claim that God's justice exists in some unseen, unknown, and unevidenced "afterlife," which may or may not exist. There is no indication of God's justice (if it exists) having any bearing or influence on affairs here on Earth. Therefore, there's no reason to acknowledge or recognize God's justice, because it is irrelevant and invisible.

The bible also says to stone adulterers and execute men who have sex with men. The bible also condones slavery and allows masters to beath their slaves to the brink of death. So yea.... the "do not harm others in any way" doesn't mean much.
Many. Ironically, it shows that it doesn't seem to matter what the bible says.
There you go again with your pet-peeve. It's starting to get old and boring.
It's true. Many atheists have a much moral life than many Christians.
Faith is not always useful.
Maybe Protestants do.
But Catholics believe that it's necessary to love thy neighbor as thyself to go to Heaven.
Right. Because there is free will, so God cannot change worldly justice in any way.
Their behavior suggests that this believe isn't universal.
I agree.
So many Catholics, especially in some shady rooms within the Vatican walls, do not practice what they preach.
I am very interested in your opinion and feedback.
Let's assume Jesus was just a man like anyone else. Any atheist can acknowledge that.
What do you think of what he did in this video?
The Scriptures claim that He has done that in the past, but apparently, not anymore.
No.
If He had had the power to violate people's free will, He would have saved His only begotten Son from crucifixion.
The money changers in the Temples were Roman. It was a natural reaction from the Hebrew perspective to be extremely offended to have Roman money changers in the Temple. This action on the part of Jesus likely brought him to the attention of Rome as a rebel.I am very interested in your opinion and feedback.

I believe in the Torah God directly violated human Free Will
