I work for a church and I can't stand it any more.

Atheists get a sense of right and wrong (actual morality) exactly the same way theists do, as has been described above. I'd call it conscience. If you don't have a conscience, you're a sociopath.

Many theists also have a different version of "morality", which is nothing to do with right and wrong. It's simply a list of things a mythical being likes and dislikes, regardless of their benefit or damage to humans.

Theists regularly find their own sense of right and wrong (actual morality) conflicting with their divine edicts (theist morality). They then have to choose one or the other. Many times their actual morality wins out, and they overrule God. For example, they see someone working on a Sunday. They don't stone them to death. Their conscience knows it's wrong.

When a theist wants to do something that happens to be in line with a divine edict, they can use this edict as an excuse, bypassing the need to explain themselves. This allows for all sorts of prejudice and bigotry, which they would find hard or impossible to defend rationally, but which they feel righteous in doing.

In short, thiest "morality" is a shield to hide behind when you don't want to be accountable for your own actions.
