True, in one sense. But the question is, if there is no god, what is good? How does one determine good? What standard is used to determine good (and thereby evil). Without God, whatever standard is used to determine good is useless becuase it not based on anything with authority.

As a Christian, the answer is obvious. For non-Christians I believe the answer is found in Romans 2:14-15, also known as
Common Grace. Essentially, God's law is written on man's heart since we are created in His image hence man knows the difference between right and wrong and chooses accordingly.
This article by John Murray provides a more in-depth and thorough answer.
