“the real issue is whether atheism can provide a justification for morality”

That has never been an issue. It has never been debatable! Religious and non-religious people throughout history have always created moral structures based on their human Nature and their group customs and social mores. All morality is self interest--and of course rational people understand more and more that all tribes and groups need to be considered when cooperating to social goals and communal existence for peace and safety.

Pretending there is something to debate is just more Fundy nonsense. Your claim (that you only act good (when or if you do) because you fear being tortured by a “loving” god, and that absent such a god you would have no reason or rational basis to be good or moral)...well that is just such bloody nonsense, isn't it? And the fact that it is asinine and self revealing does not justify it outside your own circle of superstition.
