You obviously have no comprehension of fallacies. Considering that the most atrocious acts perpetrated by humanity are from those who claim belief in a deity, that is about as low as one can fall in justifying a moral standard. Non-believers are law abiding citizens, statistically more so than believers, because we believe in being good for the sake of being good rather than having to be informed that we must be good in order to be rewarded after death.
