from what i can tell most atheists still get their morality from fear of the law or being publicly shamed, a lot of which was originally to do with religious intervention

an example would be murder

i can't really think of a reason not to murder everyone if there wasn't those consequences to it

And does the law or being shamed come from religion? The law is secular. so is social shame.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
