Is it reasonable to misbehave if there is not a deity? No.

That's a bit broad, isn't it? Not sure I get your point there--whose definition of misbehavior?

My off-the cuff definition of ‘misbehavior’ would run as follows: acting either with reckless disregard or with malice aforethought to harm others who have done no harm to you. A full account of why such behavior is not reasonable in the universe as we currently understand it would not be a quick write. Maybe another time. Note, though, that if someone rejects rationality as a criterion for judging conduct, the conversation is at an end anyway and it’s probably wise to make sure your gun is loaded when you’re dealing with that person.
