The Fury said: Most atheist morals are based on religious backgrounds. It is in religious text that our guidelines for decency are defined and that is where they come from in modern society.

As people have mentioned not quite right. Morale is a very pragmatic phenomenon that society needs to survive, most of moral prohibitions and guidelines are based around natural rules that could be easily explained (sometimes even biological rules, such as ban on incest in most cultures), of course, eventually some of them became imperatives that not necessarily need to or even could be explained.
