Authentic believers in the Lord Jesus would never assume your morals are less valuable than theirs. Intolerant religious people certainly might, but they are more interested in you following their narrow-minded theological rulebook than in having you receive the unconditional love of God. Through study and inference, you may have discerned the very same moral truths that Jews/Christians do, and you may be willing to follow them sacrificially. The difference is that you are obeying your conscience, while believers are obeying their deity through the spiritual quality of faith. Since you choose not to believe in God, faith is a foreign concept. (I was exactly the same as you for many years. See here).
But please do not feel judged by religious folk. They likely haven’t read or certainly believed/implemented the rich teachings in the Bible. God admires your sensitive conscience even if you do not yet acknowledge Him. You may be closer to discovering Him than you realize. I would like to encourage you to make a concerted effort to discover more about the Lord.

I did, although I would prefer to exchange the phrase “religious person” for “spiritual believer.” Religion is man’s attempt to prove himself to God. It separates and objectifies others. It controls adherents by requiring ritualized performance. Religion is a ‘Tower of Babel’ attempt to justify ourselves to God. But what
