They are logically contradictory.

Use a Venn diagram.

Ethics is a subset of morality, so the Venn circle for ethics is contained fully within the circle for morality.

Atheism is a circle which has no common intersection with the circle of religion.

Therefore, the intersection of ethics and atheism is a null set.
