Not to feed ignorance, but to keep your door from being smashed down and your valuables taken. To keep your loved ones safe...
I know atheists have morals...that is not new. What an atheist lacks is a way to force others to accept their morals. Atheists rely on religion for that. Once people have become accustomed to a certian moral standard they continue to behave accordingly even if they switch gods or become godless.
So basically morality is cultural...
