Why can you not have morality without faith? What if you realize living morally makes you happy? Or is morality only a way to get into heaven?

Or is morality only a way to get into heaven? This is the essential problem with all claims of afterlife reward -- it reduces morality to the level of the jihadists' Mustang Ranch in the sky.

If you believe in nothing how can you derive a moral foundation from emptiness? Atheist don't believe in heaven hence the name "atheist".
