The irony is that christianity actually needs 'morality in people who don't believe in God' to be true.
Christianity suggests that God will judge everyone.
Christianity suggests that God is fair.
If God is fair, God could not judge someone by a morality he/she doesn't have or cannot have. Can a fair God judge a fish for not being a bird?
If lack of a belief in God means someone cannot be moral, cannot have any morals, then it would mean God cannot judge anyone who doesn't believe in God.
So there you go. Atheism = Purity.
Moreover, it actually seems like the bible itself talks about morality existing in gentiles. If gentiles are anyone not a believer in this religious system, then that must include atheists as well.
"Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law, since they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them." Romans 2:14
Oh lookee here. Conscience, morality.
But who reads the bible anyway?
