That's a blatant mis-characterization if ever there was one. The only reason you can "reason it out" is because you already have a God given conscience. Religion makes this fact explicit.

What about sociopaths, and others like them? They don't have a conscience. Did your supposedly perfect God forget to give them a conscience? What about consciences that believe they are doing the right thing, even when it involves mass murders of innocent people?
