No, but every time ( the few times ) I've heard of a study attempting to compare people's morality according to religion, the atheists came out ahead. I doubt it's a coincidence that you don't see people making those kinds of studies very often, or hear much of them when they do.
Is it really any surprise? Athiests don't work on a concept of magical forgiveness or resurrection. When you're done with this life, you're done, and if you want anything, it's to have left a positive mark on the people you've touched, because really, there isn't anything else important.
