You guys all fail at defending atheism. Innate morality isn't to do with your own or anyone else's happiness; it's about not causing harm to others. To put it another way, the fundamental tenant of atheistic ethics is "Do unto others as you would have done unto you".
I don't steal from anyone because that would hurt them and I don't like harming others. I don't murder, rape or pillage because I wouldn't want that done to myself.

Actually I think that explaining it with happiness is a good thing. If people are happy, society functions better IMO.
I mean... I think morality is about not standing in others way, as long as they aren't harming anyone. Anyone who harms anyone must be stopped because that causes pain and tumult around them... or something.... blah.
