There is a difference between having no exteranally placed moral compass and having no morals. Anyone that understands that he or she has the ability to harm others and makes the choice not to for the reason of not harming others and no other reason has morals.

The only difference between atheists and believers is that the believer bases his or her moral compass on the rules of his or her religion and the atheist bases his or her moral compass on an internal conscience.

The only problem witht the internal conscience is that it is going to be different from person to person. but really is that any differnet from all the different exteral morals represented by different religions? Its really not, regardless of faith or lack of faith, every person is going to have slightly differnet moral beliefs. Thats why we have governments to set up a legal standard to meet the moral beliefs of those governed. Hopefully.

The fact that I believe that my conscience is God whispering in my ear and nonbelievers think its just the natural guilt associated with doing what is wrong, the result is the same, meaning that neither is any way superior to the other.
