The atheist existential view of ethics is that ethics do not emerge from supernatural sources but from pragmatic sources; a good system of ethics is one that contributes to the healthy functioning of the society which adopts it. In other words, we are ethical because it is useful to be ethical, not because God commands us to do so.
