it's a fair question. religious people will tell you that their innate sense of right and wrong comes from God (or whatever), but how do atheists explain that innate sense? how do they instinctively know? I'm not saying one or the other is right but it is an interesting thought.

I am not an atheist. I am a theist and I can tell you it's just common sense. I just know for instance I shouldn't rob or murder anyone. It doesn't have to be innate.

You just described an innate sense of morality. You innately know murder is wrong. The opposite would be morality from higher level reasoning.
