The problem is not self righteousness. If you are truly an agent with free will then any righteousness you demonstrate can come only from you. All the righteous then are self righteous just as the unrighteousness are self unrighteous. What we really mean when using the term self righteous as a negative connotation is those who make false pretenses of being righteous.

What I describe is you. Stop pretending you’re any different from others who give credit to other deities they were taught to believe in.

In that regard, we would be no different.

Anyone, who thinks he is an agent with free will and has righteousness which was not freely given to him, is self-righteous. Simple as that.
