It baffels me not because it is so compelling, but because I don't see what it is supposed to show, and because the retort is so obvious.

The challenge quickly dismantles the theist argument that religion is required for morality.

No, you could still argue that while the atheist may do those things from time to time, it's by chance, and with religion they are done more frequently, more likely.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
