Morality is based on evolution for the atheist.

I thought you said that god engraves morality in each of us?
If that's true then a moral atheist must be using the god-given morals engraved in him since birth but must think that they do not come from god? He might think they evolved, but we know better right?

Do you agree with that FTK?

To put it another way, moral atheists are in fact using gods moral system unwittingly? Is that right?

I think she believes that. But Ftk is stating that from within the worldview of the atheist the only source of moral behavior can be evolution. Which I have disputed, as in my post above.
