As with anything, there are moral people who are atheists and there are immoral people who are atheists as well. I'm talking about an individual person, not a class of people.

Atheism is simply an inability to believe. Beyond that atheists have nothing in common, frankly. You have misunderstood me. I'm not generalizing from the specific here.
