This reminds me of a funny conversation on a religious TV channel, where the interviewer was talking with a preacher about morality and religion. I'm paraphrasing, but it went something like this:
Preacher: Why would atheists have morals? They don't need them.
Interviewer: Umm...
Preacher: I mean, I'm not saying that atheists DON'T have morals, just that they don't have any REASON to, y'know? Because they don't believe in god. In their mind there's nothing waiting after death, so why would they care about being good?
Interviewer: Umm...
The only reason to have morals is fear of punishment in the afterlife.
