No! That is not what you said. You said "correct or incorrect"!
That's what I meant.
If I say "Rape is immoral, and those who think rape is moral are incorrect," I'm saying that morality is objective.
I don't think it is logical for an atheist to believe morality is objective. This does not mean I don't think atheists can be moral.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
