I am a Muslim and I agree that apostacy should be punishable by death.
Atheists, have no moral code that they all live by.
Their morals (as pointed out in the article above) are governed by their own personal feelings. So there can be no comparison.

No, there's no moral code all atheists live by Who gives a fuck?
There's no moral code all white people live by.
Or one that all Americans live by.
Or that all Muslims live by.
Or all US Marines live by.
Or everyone aboard the USS Maine.
I can't get everyone in my office to agree who has responsibility to check the Safe each afternoon.
What the fuck difference does that make in the kill/no kill moral evaluation?
"...apostacy should be punishable by death."
"Atheists, have no moral code that they all live by."
If having no moral code means that I don't want to kill people just because they disagree with my imaginary friend, then I am happy to be amoral.
I'd rather think about why I find things moral or immoral, rather than having to follow some early medieval list of rules. I'd also rather that other people would think, as well.
Most of us have the moral code of the Human Rights, and Life is the first and most important of the Human Rights. Violating that is the worst you can do.
Your morals are governed by your own personal feelings. You just said so; you think that people who don't believe the same way you do should be killed.
Who is going to do all that killing?
If God doesn't like it, can't he do his own killings?
So let me get this straight. Being moral means that whoever disagrees with you specifically must be murdered.
Yeah, in that case I'd be proud to call myself "immoral".
Seriously, from what I've read here, countless religious people are worse in that regard that we are. They're the ones who use centuries old books, and twist their words even further, just to force everybody to obey their personal whims and desires. Case in point, no two Muslims or Christians can ever agree on what their god demands because their own wants differ.
At least I base my morality upon how my actions affect the happiness and lives of others. Not my own. My morality is much more complex than "whatever I feel like". So who's the real immoral one here?
And yet, atheists are not the ones stoning women and homosexuals, or calling for the killing of people who do not believe in a religion anymore.
If that is moral, I guess we are better off simply acknowledging social needs and not trying to find any grand scheme of things by which to determine our conduct.
My morals include honesty, trustworthiness, marital fidelity, charity ...you know, just basic human decency. I've never killed or maimed anyone. I've never stolen. I never cheated on my husband. I've never been arrested for anything, ever. I've never been drunk.
I just didn't get my code of morality out of either a bible or a Quran. That's all.
Apostasy should be punishable by death.
You do know that most of your prophets, including the "final" one, would have been considered apostates? Should the Meccans have stoned Mohammed to death the moment he came down from the mountain?
What an Islame ist just did in New York.
What Mayor of London Sadiq Khan did in giving Scotland Yard - especially their Anti-Terror section - free rein in the investigation, arrest & conviction of Islame ist terrorists.
Who is the more moral ? Also:

Your 'Opinion' has just been executed.
Simple, my moral code is; if an action causes harm, without a corresponding good to come out of it, it is immoral. Killing somebody for changing their mind harms them, for no good. So yes, murder for apostasy is immoral
Confused?
