It doesn't actually matter. Atheists or anyone else having convoluted views of morality, whatever those are, make no reference and have no need of reference to gods. People can get shit wrong regardless of whather they believe in gods. Believing in gods doesn't seem to confer any special ability or immunity in that regard. Case in point above.
All personal oughts are derived by some appeal to personal compulsion. That doesn't make the moral system that these oughts refer to subjective. The simple act of asking why -you- should or shouldn't do something is an explicit request for a personal motivation. Newsflash, personal compulsion is deeply personal.
