Of course you shouldn't rape Suzy! Most people are instinctively aware that rape is a despicable act.
Even if God is the creator of morality and the perfect example thereof, is it unthinkable that Homo Sapiens, who are after all 'created' in his image (I must confess I'm not fully sure what this means), would have been imparted a 'built-in' understanding of morality? Where would we be today if not everyone understood that it is wrong to kill and to rape?

My original point still stands. Unless you are completely righteouss, how can your mind make a sound judgement? You are a person whom has views RELATIVE to your opinions, morals, worldview, etc. You can only make a conclusion based on that relativity.
Who is "completely righteous"? If I steal a pen at work, does that now make me incapable of making any moral decisions in my life?
The holier-than-thou attitude of classing atheists and evolutionists as 'immoral' is as untrue as it is unbiblical. There are several examples in the Bible of gentiles and non-christians acting virtuously. There are also plenty of examples in today's world.
