I agree with most of your article, like the fact that even Christian morality is subjective and non-absolute, because each denomination and individual Christian has different interpretations of morality.

That doesn't mean that, without a god, there can be no "moral" code - rather, that the moral code will always be subjective. And, as I myself am an atheist, I do in fact believe that to be the case.
