In the Ouija board thread in the parenting forum Radar posted this and I didn't want to hijack that threads topic so here is the post and my question.

I personally feel like going to church is a waste of time and know that you don't need spiritual or religious beliefs to have strong ethics and an accurate sense of what is right and wrong.

Radar, I'm really at a loss to understand any logic in your saying that as an atheist you have "strong ethics and an accurate sense of what is right and wrong."
"Accurate" in relationship to what as an absolute value?
What can you base any moral value upon as an atheist that is absolute and should apply to everyone, or even just all other atheists?
Thanks for the help in understanding this.
How can you have a value of "right" or "wrong" that should apply if there is nothing absolute?
