Atheism technically doesn't work because most atheism teach that there is such a thing as right and wrong - okay right and wrong don't exist if God doesn't because there was no-one to set the rules of what is right and what is wrong!!!!

Nice strawman. Let's see...
"Christianism technically doesn't work, because most Christianism teaches that all wrongs can be forgiven, therefore it's ok to break the rules!"
Hmmm... works just as well, and is just as true as yours.
I've noticed a lot of these posts talk about Athiesm and Athiests...
Now, I don't know about you all, but I don't know very many Athiests. Looking at the world population, it seems to me that the vast-vast-VAST majority of humanity believes in a God. At least half of them in roughly the same God. In North America, According to some web resources I googled, around 75% of the population are Catholics and Christians (including Secular Christians). Actual self-proclaimed Athiests only count for 0.4% of the US population.
Do these people just think anyone who is not of their own kind is an Athiest? That there is nothing between the two ends of the spectrum??
With murder, rape, destruction for the hell of it, honorable people going to hell because they didn't go to church, etc., the bible is clearly a good basis for what is right and wrong.
To paraphrase Near from Death Note, even if an undeniable Christian God stood before me and told me the rules of humanity, I would still think it over and see if it fits with my beliefs of good and evil. That's what I currently do with the Bible, I've decided that it doesn't completely fit. But I still have my own morality. Humanity's morality.
“Atheism technically doesn't work”
It’s a lack of belief in a deity. How the hell is it supposed to ‘work?’
“ because most atheism teach that there is such a thing as right and wrong”
Lie, much? No, sweetie, we just deny that there is or must be a DIVINE SPONSOR for the concepts of right and wrong.
“okay right and wrong don't exist if God doesn't because there was no-one to set the rules of what is right and what is wrong!!!!”
Except us.
Far as i can tell, Everything in the Bible, and every other religious tome, is sourced by mankind. MEN wrote the 10 Commandments. and the 603 others. Your story has some goot parts and some sexist, misogynistic, racist parts. Like the rest of mankind.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
