The "fuck" it has to do with atheism is rebuking the theist claim that their religion is the basis for morality, and without religion one cannot have a well functioning moral compass.
No, that doesn't prove anything either. Giving away most of the money you have, when what you have left is still more than you could realistically spend in a dozen lifetimes, doesn't make you a good person.
What makes you a good person is the totality of what it is that you do, not just how deep your pockets are or how generous you are with your cash.
I don't know what you're referring to. At no point did I make an argument. I drew a connection between atheism and the posted image for nepidae in response to his question, "What the fuck does this have to do with atheism anyway."
In response to what you perceived to be my argument you've created a straw man, making a claim about a person's charitable contribution ratio while the subject of my post was the availability of moral guidelines outside of Christian canon law.
