Amusing.
Atheists can be ethical because ethical behavior works, and works well. It is in my own best interest to behave ethically, and have a reputation for doing so.
Civilizations are built on trust.
I would suggest reading John Ringo's civilization vs. tribalism rant in The Last Centurion for an overview of why non-civilized societies fail miserably in the face of adversity. -

Atheists are sometimes ethical because Christians have built Western Law upon the morality of the Christian faith. Morality and ethics are learned behavior and the Bible is the primmer.
It's no coincidence that the greatest enclaves of "civilization" are Western Christian. In my humble opinion it’s no coincidence that the greatest of those are Protestant but that's another story. -

Clearly someone is trading for humor on the lack of knowledge of the alpha privative.

This proved one thing:
Atheists have no sense of humor...

I-RIGHT-I:
Western civilization is built upon Grecko-Roman civilization. The only portion of out current civilization Christian churches had full control over were the dark ages.
Once that control was removed, during the enlightenment, we were able to progress again. -
