Atheism doesn't account for morality.
In the same way that solipsism doesn't account for the decline of the rain forest.
In the same way that radiometric dating has nothing to do with evolution.
All atheism is, is a lack of belief in the existence of a god or gods.
Now if you're asking how atheists can be moral then that's a different question.
Answer is that morals come from evolved pack instincts regardless of whether you are an atheist, theist, gnostic or whatever. Morals are also influenced by culture based on these biologically evolved instincts. Some people do not have any morals because of how their brains are wired. Others have a very strong sense of morality, also because of how their brains have developed.
Wipe out the human race and morality disappears.
Give me evidence how morals evolve?
