Because atheism is not a position that has anything to say about human concepts or standards of morality Crux. I also have to mention that I don't feel that any concept of morality that is anchored within the god of scripture is a solution. Just because you offer something up doesn't mean it solves anyones problems, and if we take a look at just our recent history I think it's pretty easy to make the case that such concepts of morality are actually a problem. You can only argue that such a thing is a positive improvement by ignoring any and every instance in which it has been leveraged to commit atrocity. Before you even ask what my basis for something being an atrocity may be, I think we can all agree that piles of diapers and tiny bones littering every part of the mountainside of some backwater country and the events that led to this being the case need no further explanation (just for one example).
I have to ask you this Crux, have you ever been face to face with someone who believes that he has a cosmic mandate to enforce his creators whims and the weapons and numbers to do so? I don't think you'd find the notion of "divine authority" as pleasant as you do now. What argument against his beliefs could you possibly come up with that would not also apply to your own?
