What about blowing yourself up? Martyrdom? Selfish> free gift of afterlife? = Not moral
As I see it, there's no action a theist can make that an atheist cannot make, moral or otherwise.
Underlying motivations might establish motive, but they don't pinpoint any moral obligation (ethics) an atheist can't likewise hold like a theist. Theists motivations are just, alternatively, religious in nature while an atheist does it for "worldly" (to use a theist wording) reasons.
