This argument always fascinates me because it makes it sound like you'd be a psychopath if you weren't afraid of the consequences. I have my own internal compass, thanks. People that don't? I'd rather stay away from them.

I have my own internal compass

Yeah, because of the Garden of Eden. We all do.

Do we all have an internal compass because of the garden of eden, or from believing in Christianity? If it's just from the garden of eden and doesn't require belief, then atheists are just as moral as you are and your argument makes no sense.

If a moral compass comes from religious belief, then you are telling on yourself that you only abstain from being a shitty person because you're afraid of consequences from God.
