Where did you get the idea that those are assertions? Did you miss the question marks or something?
how would being atheist require you to give up self will?
That question was based on the previous commenter’s assertion that “atheism is […] the assumption that life is simply the result of natural processes existing without will.”
I think you misunderstood the meaning of the comment you are referencing. natural process without will doesn’t mean self will, it means that everything that’s happened is happening without the will of a deity.
