How Do Atheists Absolve Themselves of Guilt?

Great blog recently: Ask The Friendly Atheist: How Do Atheists Absolve Themselves of Guilt?

"A person (who is) conscientious... will not become dissolute, depraved and degenerate, casually and blithely forgiving yourself for awful things without a proper effort to self-correct." Not all Atheists are conscientious, just as all Christians, all Muslims, all Hindus, all Jews, etc. are not. But most Atheists I know try to be - I know I do. And I'm out-of-control on the whole self-correcting thing...

What drives my desire to be conscientious? The knowledge that, when I am, I'm happier. Simple as that.
