This may be true but is beside the point. The inherent amorality of atheism means that it gives no reason to the atheist to seek that any code of morality is applied to others; such a mission is not and could not be derived from the person's atheism.

Sure it can. Many athiests apply their moral code to others. Why? Because they prefer to do it. Why do theists apply their moral code to others? Because they prefer to do it. Each likes a moral code applied to others more than a moral code that is only applied to themsleves.
