You didn't define what morality is. It's very important, it's hard to discuss something if I don't know what you mean by it.
Erm yes, there is something called the law which is a good deterrent to people shooting me. It works well. Atheists are generally moral, you seem to be implying that they are not. There is no study that shows atheists are more immoral than theists, except for definitions of morality which are different to wellbeing versus harm.
People in general get along. You seem to have trouble understanding how that could be, if not for a divine dictator. But they do, regardless of its existence.
But again, I need to know what you think the word means, and more importantly what religion has to do with it.
What's the difference between Hitler saying "hate the Jews" and God saying "hate the gays"? God is just a magic hitler, barking out orders with no room for debate. How is that "good"?
Where is your standard, and how come not even Christians can agree what it is? What use is it then if no one knows what it is?
