A person who believes in magic can be a physicist and potentially make a break through in the field, regardless of the incorrect belief. The fact that he has something wrong doesn't make him wrong on all accounts. To say otherwise is to embrace ad hominem as valid.
And similarly, I can say that you don't believe in something so self-evident that it calls your competence into question. Making ad hom attacks against each other really doesn't get anywhere.

I doubt I could just nail it with one guess, but I could categorize it instantly. By removing God as an objective source of morality, people either create some objective source (utilitarianism/hedonism creates the "mankind", positivism has the government) or they make it subjective (whatever the each person "feels"). Both of these have their individual issues. Even the morality with God has it's issues (Divine Command, Euthyphro Dilemma, etc.)
The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
