Atheists and Christians lead the same moral lives.
Most atheists have been Christians before and still live like Christians (as far as moral code goes). Not to mention that the morals of Christianity are the societal norm.
My opinion is that theism traces all of our morals back to God, while (debatably) in atheism, these morals cannot be traced back.
