80, I’m sure that many people who don’t believe in G-d are NOT moral and DON’T have values. But anyone can be moral. Anyone can have values. I don’t think these are things bound by religion. Obviously, in a religion, we have specific morals and values. A non-Jew who keeps the 7 miztvos he is required to doesn’t necessarily keep them because he believes in G-d. Why does he keep them? Perhaps, it is possible that he keeps them because he feels they are moral, or because he has a set of values. I’m not denying that many non-believers are not moral and don’t have values, but I wouldn’t say it’s impossible.
