Muslims: Jews with two more prophets

Technically. Cultural institution of the religions are different, tho.
You're oversimplifying it. The three are vastly different, even though they happen to be based on the same fairy tales (the Old Testament).

You don't have to be a fundie to be an idiot. Atheism does not demand a specific moral code, so one could easily base his morality off what he sees happening naturally (survival of the fittest, for example).
