Christians aren't nice because God told them to. They are nice because their views aligned as a collective. You put a sole Christian into a muslim town, would he be nice to his neighbor? No, he would curse them every day.
Atheists on the other hand does not have the agreed upon standards of morality, each to their own interpretation, as you yourself said, "be nice of my own free will". You simply cannot be moral that way.
Why not? Is there some kind of fundamental law of science that prevents a non religious person from behaving good?
It sounds like you think atheists are bad people for not believing. I was raised going to church every Sunday for years. By the time I was 13 /14 figured it was just lies to get ppl to behave a certain way. I just played along and pretended and it was all kinda cringe to me.
But I will tell you this. I don't hate Christians. Not at all. They're usually good folk even if their mysticism makes no logical sense.
Most religious folks (except islam and judaism) behave in a good way because they believe in the judgement of God/Buddha/heaven/hell whatever in the afterlife, not because they are brainwashed by "mysticism".
"Do good deeds" is not limited to Christian. Ask yourself why people across different continents and religions share common belief that "do good deeds" is the way to salvation in the afterlife.
