We've been over this in thorough detail before...
Atheists have just as much morality as any other sane person. We don't require threats of eternal damnation to be bound to moral codes. We (like all other moral humans, regardless of what book you think you learned it from) derive our morals from empathy for other people's pain. If you need it written in a book to tell you that torturing or killing another person, or stealing his belongings, or raping a girl, is wrong, then you are a moron or a psychopath, plain and simple. It's as easy as saying "How would I feel if someone did that to me?" That's not religious enlightenment, it's logic.
As for "the statistics confirm this"...obviously untrue, try not lying since you just said it's those evil atheists who do this. Off the top of my head, i'd say about 90% of prison inmates consider themselves religious. And I'd say whatever that statistic, it's probably directly parallel to the religious population outside of jail.
Religious belief, nor a lack of it, has any bearing on a person's morality. That compass is within.
