Atheists get their morals from the same place you do, from within.
You may think you get your morals from the bible, but let's face it, the bible morally is a bucket of shit and you know it. Therefore you cherry pick the morals that suit you and that you think are right, and disregard the uncomfortable ones. Once you do that though, you are making your own moral code.
Realise that, and you shouldn't need to ask atheists where they get morals.
God doesn't come into it for either of us, if you're honest.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
