Without knowing it comes from God, the person nonetheless recognizes that it is good. And can't something be said if they embrace it and choose to live by it?
What you are describing, CL, is an empty set. No atheist I know recognizes any kind of transcendent Good and thus there is nothing for them to embrace.
I don't know if I believe in a *transcendent good', since I have no idea what that even means. But I do believe in doing good for others and embrace that.
