And you think atheists have no morals because...?
I could have been more specific here. I was pointing to the lack of a common moral. I'm sorry if that misunderstanding hurt your feelings.

You do not understand me correctly. Basically I am talking about individuals here. In a thought example it could be an atheist with terrible morals, attacking the belief of a moral ideal of a theist, based on the questionable morals of the book. In a dispute where the theist is the one with the 'higher morals' this argument would cause the atheist fall on his face.
