Not getting our morals from someone who claims to be a moral authority. But asking this about atheists is a category error, as they same question would be if asked of theists (you'll get different answers depending on what god they believe in). On this forum, most of the atheists are humanists, who use their brains to figure out what is most moral based on what has the best outcome for human thriving.
Really?
on this forum:
Some atheists were defending a gay man buggering an under age boy.
Another atheist has stated there 5 people she'd like to kill if she knew she could get away with it.
Another atheist claimed if he lived back in the day, he'd happily participate in chattel slavery.
(I assume you disagree with the above?)
Clearly examples of why an individual's brain isn't capable of deciding what's moral.
So again, what is an atheists moral authority?

We use the very same internal moral authority that you theists use to create your god in your own image in order to browbeat others like you can’t if your own merits, or lack thereof, is laid bare.
Except we use that internal moral authority much better than your ilk.

Yeah.
The thing is, if you look at all the countries in the world with: the lowest crime rates, best health care, lowest infant mortality, lowest poverty rates, highest percentage of upward mobility, highest education rates, most freedoms, etc, they almost all correlate to the countries with the highest percentage of atheist populations.
Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Netherlands, and to a slightly lesser extent, Japan, France all have majority atheist populations.
Not true
Also I take it you agree with colonialism?
