The commandment's in themselves are irrelevant to an atheist, however human morality takes care of everything other than bowing to a bronze age myth. Like no killing, no stealing, no raping (oops, the bible is fine with raping), no keeping slaves (ah right another right mess the bible got you into), lying (ive rarely met a christisan who a not ok with lying), treating people with the respect they deserve (another Christian failing)
And another wowsie, of course atheist morality is not biblical. Do you really think the Bible is relevant to an atheist?
You got me there, i loath the ira (christian) who chopped off my aunt's arm in front of my eyes and left me partially blind and in constant pain.
I loath the christians who beat me to the ground then tried (and thankfully failed) to push my twins pushchair in front of a moving bus.
Other than that i have no real enemies to speak of. Tell me, honstly, if someone mutilated a relative of yours or tried to kill your children would you forgive them?
Ahh the old atheist in foxholes lie, how very Christian of you. Most certainly, percentage wise an atheist is just as likely to give up their life to save another as anyone else. And you say you know many atheists, are you breaking none of your commandments here? Now be honest.
And charity? Are you sure you want to go there? Because there are numerous reports that prove you wrong.
Muslims and Christians less generous than atheists, study finds
Atheists are the most generous—even without heavenly reward!

And from my own experience, i can pretty much guarantee that i have donated more to charity since i started earning a wage than you could earn in a lifetime.
I don't understand this line of argument, it seems self-defeating, please allow me to explain:
1. You said atheists are more moral than many Christians
2. I said, being Christian, my morality is Bible-based, which shows that atheists are far more immoral than Christ-worshipers, per the same
3. You reply includes a) I don't care what you subjectively believe about morality from the Bible because b) my subjective morality shows atheists are better
Now, I would be compelled to point out that since we both have subjective moral ideas, that you feel X is moral while I use a book. Then, when you ask me to prove God exists, I say I feel He exists; His existence is self-evident to me. You deny this is so, while holding the morality you feel, a morality you find self-evident.
Therefore, you hold a double standard.
Of course, you also hold a double standard re: charity. Jesus praised the poor person who gave all they had. You don't know what percentage of income I give.
