An atheist has not God, therefore, no moral compass... Then what you are saying is your morality is based on your belief in God and, presumably, in a reward/punishment system. What keeps you moral is your love of God/fear of punishment. What you fail to see is that morality can be self rewarding.Life is much more rewarding and enjoyable when one has morals.

Your morality is subjective, based upon subjective human beings - much more shaky than a morality based upon an unchanging God.
