Not just that, it's everything. The list of supposed reasons a person might be an atheist is insulting. The statement that "because there is no written code of conduct for an atheist I have no idea what to expect him to do" is.. it's baffling. It's like saying "because there's no written code of conduct for people who don't collect stamps I have no idea what to expect him to do".
Atheism isn't a moral framework, it's the absence of belief in gods.
And "Likely, because there is nothing greater than him in the grand scheme of things, he will be looking out for himself. I cannot know that he will be doing anything beyond what is self serving." doesn't even deserve a response.
What's more scary, the guy that does the right thing because it's the right thing? Or the guy that does the right thing because he's doing what he's told (to appease or avoid punishment)?
