Atheists' morality comes from logic and sense. Atheists and Agnostics don't need to be told that murder, rape and theft are wrong to know it.

Absolutely true, and thats not to mention that atheists tend to be more liberal, so they support things like gay marriage, women's rights, healthcare for poor, and so forth.  You can argue that these aren't teh correct morals to have, but they are morals nonetheless.

I think Western atheist morality owes its origins to Greco-Roman philosophy instead of Middle Eastern, Abrahamic religions.

Like I said in another post, Chrisitanity borrowed several ethical principles from the Greek philosophers.
