As an atheist but not a homophobe, I am baffled by this question. Are you implying that only people with some form of religious conviction can feel strongly about anything? Surely it is obvious that if someone determines that they disapprove of something on their own without it being declared a sin, they will have just as strong a feeling about it. You also seem to think that all atheists have an “anything goes” attitude. You imply that if you said you “interfered” with farmyard animals, then because atheists have no religious reason for finding this disgusting, they would be happy for you to carry on like that.
I cannot understand why anyone would disapprove of anyone’s sexual preferences, as long as they are consensual. However, to assume that those without religion have no moral code or no vehement beliefs is naive and insulting. Atheists have a lack of belief in God, not a lack of morals. The two are not mutually exclusive.
