Why are you saying "don't get caught"? What kind of thing would you decide is moral that this would become an issue? In theory it is arbitrary, but in practice most of us have empathy and so wouldn't choose to do certain things.
I'm not talking about a theoretical random person, I'm focusing on you as an individual. So are you saying you would stop and rethink? You can still choose to follow what you thought was the correct "objective morality". Does it not line up with what you would personally consider moral?
I've heard a whole lot of religious people say this, that without religion they can/would "do anything". But then in practice, if they do lose faith, they find out that actually they don't want to kill and rape anyway. Do you want to? If not, what is it you want to do that would change from how you are now?
