Steve Harvey on morals

In a recent interview, Steve Harvey said, "I just believe if you don't believe in God, then where is your moral barometer?  You can believe what you want to believe. If you’re an atheist, you're basing your goodness and morality on what?  I mean what is an atheist? I've talked to people all the time; 'I'm an atheist,' I just walk away.  I don't know what to say to you." 
And finally in response to the interviewers definition of an Atheist: "Well then, to me you're an idiot."
THREE QUESTIONS FOR STEVE HARVEY:
1.  If God told you to run  for President, would you?
Herman Cain, Michele Bachmann, and Rick Perry all have said, "God told me to run."
2.  If God told you to build an ark, gather the animals, and prepare for a flood, would you?
Noah did just this when God warned him that he was going to commit genocide.
3.  If God told you to kill your child, would you?
Abraham was ordered by God to kill his son.  At the very last moment, as Abraham was about to plunge a knife into his son's chest, an angel stopped him.  But it was clear that Abraham would have done it.
If Harvey says, "yes," to number 3,  it reveals him to be a religious nut and perhaps a monster.
If Harvey says, "No," where did that "moral barometer" come from?  Not the bible.  Not from religion.  Not from his God, who supposedly told him to commit the murder.  So where then?  Perhaps the same place Atheists get their morals?  It's clear that morals don't come from the bible and religion.
