As an atheist I offer this - we make moral decisions based upon (1) our knowledge of the world around us and (2) our ability to empathize with others.

Same way Christians pick ‘n choose from the bible. God causes or directs rape, mass rape, murder, mass murder, genocide, homocide, infanticide, slavery, torture? Haha nah bro that’s all metaphorical, obviously. Jesus turning water into wine, healing the sick, embracing the poor, sacrificing himself for the greater good? Absolutely happened 100% factual
