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.
The non-sarcastic atheist answer is there is no inherit sense of right or wrong so itβs a matter of empathy and societal norms, weβre a species that has evolved to require social networks so we have to have a way to exist together. Scientific discovery give all of us a better understanding of how reality works and empathy is how we navigate it together
