I think the key difference between religious people's morality and atheist's morality is that religious people tend to follow beliefs blindly, because they were "given by god," while atheists are free to examine their beliefs, and the religiously-derived beliefs of their society, and discard the morals that seem unfounded or nonsensical.

This would seem to imply that religious people, in being religious, are not "free" to examine their own beliefs, and wander through life blindly, oblivious to their surroundings, which I disagree with. All humans have the power of introspection, and it is up to the individual if they use it or not. My being religious does not take this ability away from me or make me blind in any way.
