It falls flat as opposed to standing, because Christians interpret the New Testament differently.
For example, I had two conversions with two Christians; the first said God is a vengeful deity and that I'd burn in Hell for all eternity for being a non-believer; the second said God loves me no matter what and would ultimately find a way to reconcile with me no matter how long it would take.
When talking about Morality, one should never invoke belief in gods or lack thereof. Let's stop bastardizing words and lumping a pile of dogmatic dog mess with a something that should only ever be equated to ethics, not religion.
