Yes, and relying on religion for your morality is what Paul called the "ministry of death" in Corinthians.

God's law of morality is written on our hearts, not in a book (or stone tablets). You should know what is moral as a matter of reflex, and if you need to consult with your bible or ask God, then you really don't have any morality at all. An atheist who listens to his heart and uses it as an instrument of moral clarity is closer to God than some fundie who must always resort to his stone tablets for guidance.
