Christian accusing non-Christians of being immoral is one of the most dangerous Christian delusions there is. It is a straight inquisition mentality.

Thus it reminds me of Mel Brooks playing the inquisitor Torquemada and singing:

We have a mission to convert the Jews -
We're gonna teach them wrong from right
We're gonna help them see the light
- And make an offer that they can't refuse -


Needless to say that this delusion caused Christians to commit countless genocides throughout history on people whom they deemed as immoral.

And the other thing is that religion does not provide morality. Religious people see something as good or bad because their god supposedly said it was good or bad, which is not morality but taboo. So religion provides taboo but not morality.

Morality is when you can explain why something is bad. For example in the movie "Borat" Borat asks some guy if is it ok to make fun of and laugh at retarded people, the guy tells him "no" because these people have family members who would suffer because of it - notice how he does not need god to explain why something is bad, he only uses empathy, and that is because empathy is on what morality is based on. And if you don't have empathy you are a psychopath.

(Bold mine)

For those deprived enough never to have seen it, it's the greatest Brooks musical number since Lilly von Schtupp's 'I'm Tired':
