Atheists behave morally without expectation of any reward. They do good just for the sake of going good.

Where do their morals come from? What is the source of morality?

@GodSpeed63 For thousands of years humans have gradually developed codes of morality and laws. This process is on-going. Systems of morality sometimes came from religion, sometimes from secular institutions. What constitutes right behavior has been a part of philosophy since ancient times.
