One faithless and still of fair belief,
One brief-less, still a perfect bailiff,
He that bows to no God
Bows still to moral code,
One in a million with his own brief,
One that walks self-made road,
Walks with no undue load,
Not bailiff, here walks a sound sheriff.

There is a belief in general that non-believers lack moral code. This is because morality, as Arnold Toynbee said, has been hijacked by religion as is belief in God. Sure enough he was greeted by Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus, both known atheists. This little ditty doffs its hat in deference.
