"True, as while atheists can be relatively moral people," Really? Moral compared to what? Atheism has no objective basis for morality. For the Atheist there is no objective morality, only personal preference and social convention.

Notice he used the word "relatively."

Since "moral" is by definition an objective standard, "relative morality" is a meaningless phrase. Relative compared to what - someone else's objective standard?
