You can get morality cheaper from Amazon.
To me, it isn't so much whether you believe in an inner messenger so much as how much authority it has over you. Are you allowed to question your inner messenger? (Does it respond?) Can you refuse it? Should you? If it steers you wrong, who is accountable for the damage you do?
Nothing wrong with being open to intuition and inspiration, but how high is the pedestal you place it on?

Also perhaps you been so use to thinking in a non-metaphysical way, no matter how manifest a metaphysical messenger in the soul is, you will down play it.
Perhaps just as religious people have a bias so do Atheists.
All I'm stating is that I believe reflection over the self will detect an inner messenger of God. I think you will see, that authority is not simply your's but something beyond and even absolute and ultimately high.
