Thoughts about morality.

I've been thinking about this on and off for awhile now and I thought I'd type it out.

This is something that has been written about a lot, and I know there are studies about this but I want to look at it from my point of view. People think you get your morals and your values from religion. This confuses me. Mainly because of my boyfriend.

My boyfriend is an atheist. He has never been arrested, was never suspended in school, never had a detention, never even skipped. He doesn't smoke, he barely drinks, has never gotten high. He has a good job, he's graduating college, owns his own car. He is such a good guy and has never believed in god a far as I know. Why is he so good?

Now someone might say "Well maybe his parents are religious so they passed on their morals to him." As far as I am aware, on his fathers side atheism goes back to his grandfather. His mother is also nonreligious. I just don't get it. People are so weird.
