Is materialism a part of Atheism or Atheism a part of materialism?

Just that bad acts committed by a person to another's detriment might cause bad things to happen in the future for that person. Same with good acts done for another. No "being" or deity involved.
How the materialists or atheists would understand from "good" or "bad"? What is good for a person may not be good for another.

Do you think a Christian would consider "good" your belief in Allah (or the other way round)?

I didn't make any claim about materialists. Atheists, however, would not have to rationally define where "good" and "evil" originate, objectively. But, the notion of what is good or bad can be based on the resulting harm or pleasure/benefit.

They would probably just say, "I'm not saying I understand it, I just don't believe it's God". Why is that so hard to believe.
