Atheism is a very flexible philosophy, so that can vary. Personally, I know when something is wrong when it is unfair or leads to unfairness. For example, I believe murder is wrong because if some one is murdered, they lose their life. Many people believe homosexuality is wrong, but I believe it's not wrong because there's nothing bad encrypted in it.
In the beginning, God created a bunch of male animals, a bunch of female animals, and one male human.
