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.
You can't really say what an atheist’s morals are because there are no official morals of atheism. That's kind of the point. I'm sure there are many atheist murderers; they obviously didn't follow said morals.

Anyway I don't quite agree with your morals. Say I saw an extremely attractive person walking down the street. I can't really justify raping her (not that I ever would) on the basis that I wouldn't mind if she fucked me.

I much prefer the "the Wiccan Rede"(please don't, OANST) which states; "An it harm none, do what thou wilt.", the catch is harming none includes yourself, with which I disagree. People should be able to do whatever the fuck they want with themselves for all I care; it's their life, their choice.
