Does being an atheist interfere with being moral?

No. Even though atheists won’t admit it our inherent sense of right and wrong are placed in us by God.

YES being an atheist interferes with being moral, for to him there are NO consequences for immorality! And without the ABSOLUTE goodness of God as a reference point, there is no way to judge good from evil, any more than one can say that red is a “better” or more “moral” color than blue.

I don’t agree with you. We are not inherently good because we have committed the original sin. That’s why many kids are absolutely evil until they learn differently from their parents. This is actually the belief of liberals. That’s why their crime fighting techniques always end in horrific failure.
Also, how do you explain evil such as ISIS? They actually believe that the atrocities they are perpetrating are approved by Allah. Suicide bombing is good. Beating up your wife is good. If everybody innately knows right from wrong, this wouldn’t happen.

And that’s why when God is kicked out of schools and the ten commandments are taken out of the public square, we find more school shootings, more disrespect, more acceptance of lying as normal, etc.
