A lot of the Christian (or religious) morals are also ones we now (rightly) reject. Such thing as homosexuality being immoral.
When people make the point about religion and morals I always have to think: yes the influence is there (but no, it's clearly no the ONLY source) but that influence is not all good. And it is irrelevant in modern times: religion seems to now be catching it's morals up to the rest of society (example: IVF children)
EDIT: I think the title "Atheist Delusions" isnt helping the point TBH.

I think that is 'in progress', we have some movement but nothing definite yet. As long as there is a 'religious right' there will be controversy, and the 'noise' is getting louder rather than less so. Plenty of people wonder what the fuss is about that gay marriage thing, and how come politicians allow themselves to be set up and used the way they do. Common sense as a morality guide here (you should not tell others how to live is a very nice example of a rule to live by that conflicts with how religion operates) is 'cleaner' than using religion (or what passes for it).
