If atheists took reason to its logical conclusion, they would find that there is no reason they should obey any laws since laws stand in the way of their personal happiness and there is no absolute right and wrong.

Why of course, which is why they have to keep up a two faced hoodoo. (The more militant atheists especially.)

YES!!!

However, no atheist will admit this. They call claim to believe that somewhere outside the universe is floating a gigantic granite block with "thou shalt not be a bigot" carved on it.

Yes and no. Without God, there's no absolute moral imperative to obey any laws, but there are good rational reasons for doing so. Quite apart from religion, laws exist to keep order in society, so whether you think there's a moral imperative to obey them or not, breaking them can mean execution, incarceration, fines, or being ostracized by society. In fact, most people, religious or not, obey laws for these reasons, not for reasons of metaphysics.
