There is no such thing as morality or moral truth without God. In a godless nihilist reality everything considered to be popularly "moral" would simply be a rule of arbitrary human construction, not a metaphysical constant. Without God even murder is not inherently wrong and the decision as to whether or not it would be prohibited in society would essentially come down to popular opinion. We have temporal laws against these things because our ancestors who drafted them were informed by God's law and implemented them to reflect it.
A "decent man" to a nihilist is a completely arbitrary descriptor that can mean something different in a million different settings.
