Atheists often base their [[moral code]] upon [[emotion]], [[experience]], empirically derived ethics, or some combination thereof.{{fact}} It is important to note, however, that just as many religions disagree on specific moral points, and there is sharp disagreement within many religions (e.g. denominational disputes within Christianity), atheists differ substantially from each other in the details of their moral beliefs.  Thus, it is difficult at best to summarize the beliefs of the "average atheist." However, atheists tend to be disliked by the general public for their beliefs. There are schools, especially in Texas, established for the sole purpose of saving the Atheist, whose godless life is a direct road to Hell. Almost no atheist believes in Hell, and thus they tend not to be frightened when a well-meaning Christian warns them about the Devil and the third degree burns sinners will receive.
