    Atheists use whatever their morality tells them they should do. There’s a complex interplay of empathy, conscience, whatever moral codes they’ve picked up from their family, their education, and/or society at large. Hopefully, it’s all informed by logic and reason, but just like everything else we do it’s driven by emotion.

      Ya, basically game theory based survival strategy colored by culture and emotion. IMO, morality almost always comes either dictated by in-group superiors (religion, cults, legalism, etc) or via game theory (atheists, agnostics, non-religious, etc).
