Theism does because, often, the central deity in theism proclaims some sort of moral code its followers are supposed to follow. Abrahamic religions, for example, have the Word of God as encoded in the Bible. It\'s a central tenet that those words, while written by people, are divine in origin.

But in atheism, there is \\\'\\\'no central deity.\\\'\\\' There\\\'s nothing to giving them instructions. So how can they base their beliefs on something that isn\\\'t there?

No they do not. The concept that there is no god is the primary \'\'feature\'\' of atheism, but atheistic morals and beliefs are not centered around that feature. They are often based on ethical and philosophical systems that exist apart from atheism. Secular humanism, for example, is not atheism. There are plenty of religious, agnostic, and atheistic people who subscribe to secular humanism since--if you\'ll note the features of it that were listed down--secular humanism says nothing about the existence of god. It merely says the need to test beliefs, and testing their own beliefs is hardly a purely atheist trait.
