But the point is that when a Christian steals and kills he is breaking God’s Commandments – he is not living according to his worldview. But if an atheist were to do the same thing, what atheist creed or principle would they be violating? What morality does atheism teach?

If no one will speak the truth – if we won’t speak the truth – it shouldn’t be surprised when the lie gains ground (3 min).
