I think that you can be a atheist but believe in ethics (in this case ethics=morality) and perhaps believe that certain things that are believed to be metaphysical are simply natural phenomena that are poorly scientifically understood for the moment...
Atheism, IMO, is a disbelief in an omnipresent, omnipotent, all-powerful 'God'...concepts like morality are completely independant..
