There are natural theories of ethics. Ayn Rand, for example, believed in evil, and she was an atheist.

If you believe in respecting the autonomy of others, you don't need to believe in God to believe that it is evil to interfere in the autonomy of others without justification.

It is morally wrong to initiate force or fraud against another human being.

Extreme moral wrong is evil.

Surely you aren't going to argue that only religious people believe in morals?

Marcus Aurelius, for example, believed in moral good and moral evil, but was an atheist.
