Atheists; what do you base your morals on?

To add further, it can be when society begins to cheat on spouses regularly, that it can lead to other corruptions. And the over all corrupt nature of the society - will lead to other crimes - that cause physical harm to people. On the other hand, there more purity and honor society upholds, the less corruption and in turn less crimes that cause physical harm to people.

Therefore from this perspective, "lashes" or "stoning", maybe justified.

I'm playing Devil's advocate. I haven't thought that much about the issue to reach a conclusive belief.
