I understand your question, but the quoted sentence doesn't make much sense to me. I don't see how viewing the universe as made up of atoms makes the argument of doing wrong, which I think is subjective anyway, any more invalid or valid. The two are seemingly unrelated, and I just want some clarification.

EDIT: It makes sense if the statement was used to avoid saying "if you don't believe in God and objective morals".
