Reality is based on evidence, you idiot.
There is evidence that subjective morality exists. There is evidence that evolution is how life came to its current state. There is evidence that your god is a fictional contrivance designed to serve the needs of ignorant, ancient people. There is evidence to show that humans have created the concepts of "right" and "wrong" to suit their needs as individuals and as communities. There is evidence for the existence of, well, just about everything that fucking exists. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that reality exists because there is evidence for it.
Conversely, there is no evidence for your god. There is no evidence for any objective source of morality. There is no evidence that right or wrong are universal forces and not concepts invented by humans. There is no evidence for ghosts, goblins, faeries, werewolves, vampires, demons, angels, or any of the other cockamamie, superstitious bullshit you might have been brought up on. Therefore, it is not reasonable to conclude that any of that shit exists.
How hard is this concept? Seriously? Your "Oh, you just don't have any standard for reality" thing is a Straw Man. Quit that shit. We believe in reality, and we believe things should be supported by some kind of peer-reviewable evidence before they qualify as a part of that reality. Our standard for reality is, in fact, much higher than yours. YOU are the one who doesn't believe in reality.

Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
