mor·al
/ˈmôrəl/
adjective
Theists may do things that are more likely to be considered 'right', or they may less often do things considered 'wrong', because of the fear of hell/god/etc. Not because they themselves prefer to do the right thing ('proper conduct') based on the principle of it being right. There's a difference. So while they may be perceived as being more moral, if we think that intentions and motivation for an action is important, then nope, your argument doesn't exactly impress.

Also I checked the results for the poll and I'm amused by the fact that you voted for the third option yourself...
