Morality is morality IMO. A Christian and an unbeliever can both do the moral thing and IMO, it does not make a difference where they got their morality from because if they are doing the right thing, then they are doing the right thing.
many Christians I have talked to though greatly downplay the secular morality (a very condescending and arrogant attitude) and many Atheists (as opposed to simply unbelievers) claim that Christians can't be moral because their morality is derived from their religion and they are only moral because of God....as a Christian, I call that bullshit because my morality did not come from religion, but from simply living my life...sure I later incorporated some of my beliefs into my moral code (really just not drinking so much and not dating divorced women), but my base morality did not come from the Bible...but then again, even then that is hard to prove because I can't be certain how much of the Bible impacts secular laws.

But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
