Bishop,
I was not referring to an Agnostic (meaning no knowledge). Someone who is unsure whether God exists at least leaves open the possibility that there is a God. Agnostics, by my definition of morality, cannot be moral, because admitting their morals come from God requires an admission God exists, and therefore they are no longer agnostic.
In either case, whether someone is unsure if God exists, or outright denies His existence, they cannot base the guiding principles of their life on the laws which God Himself gives to us. To be moral requires we love God, as well as love our neighbor. If one declares there is no God, or God cannot be known, then it is impossible to love Him. Therefore, they are not moral, having no Love of God.
