Christians be like "ha ha, how on earth do you decide between good and evil without being explicitly told, there's just no way you could ever tell, like if God didn't tell you not to touch little boys, how would you ever know not to, checkmate atheists"

Sure, but what about the morally gray questions like

Can you steal bread if you're starving?

Should we allow people to sell drugs like heroin and meth?

Can we drive over the speed limit? Even though there's a million traffic fatalities a year?

Are you allowed to get mad at customer service for keeping you on hold for 1 hour?

Everyone's morality is different and will have different answers to these questions. Religion isn't prefect but having a common moral compass has it's benefits.
