23. I voted "no" but you are really asking more than one question
It is true that an atheist can act morally, and that a theist can act immorally. It is also true that morality ensues from a higher power.

When an atheist acts morally, it is because the atheist is (inadvertently, perhaps) obeying God.

When a theist acts immorally, it is because the theist is disobeying God.
