You still haven't answered my question yet. What makes actions that create the greatest possible harmony objectively right? What force makes them correct?
I would imagine that those atheists who consider themselves moral are not arguing over morality as has been in the strictly philosophical sense. For example, most of us - even nihilists - would say that we shouldn't kill people, but that does not necessarily reflect on our beliefs regarding an absolute right or wrong.
