I did not in any way, shape, or form say that since atheists don’t believe in a god that they don’t care about anything. I ASKED if they do or they don’t. If they do I am curious what the primary motivation is.

There's no reason why an atheist can't be interested or care about something just because he's an atheist. I reckon they have the same motivations as anyone else for the most part. Your question is leading in that it presumes that theists have their belief in God as their primary motivation for everything they do or care about, which is simply absurd.
