And who is deciding on these absolutes these atheists are beleiving?
An atheists could say " I believe killing innocents is ok". That would be neither wrong or right according to atheists as this individual is deciding on his standards, which would a relative to an atheists who doesn't believe in killing innocents. Every atheists is different as they have no absolute morals to guide them besides the morals they were religiously inspired from
Society has rules which mirror the thoughts of the majority and also incorporate many trial-and-error options, like incest. That is what is usually referred to as morality.
Then along came organized religions and theocracies which hijacked these long-standing rules of societal behavior... and now they claim people can't be a part of society without their religion of choice...
Talk about hypocrite!
