Just so.

Then why do you castigate believers for not behaving ethically?

It is entirely possible to observe that atheists are as ethical, in
practice, as believers, and still maintain that atheism - or any other belief - is not
necessarily connected to ethical behaviour. There is every reason, given the full
spectrum of ethical or counter-ethical behaviour present in most belief systems, to
suppose that there is no connection at all between belief and ethical behaviour.


Perfectly put.
