Atheistic Morals Baseless?

I have a theory that atheists get there morals by deciding whether an action is against someone in an unjust way, i.e. murder and theft. If it is, it is immoral. But if it harms no one unjustly or reasonably, it's moral i.e. homosexuality and same-sex marriage. Is this true? If not, where do atheists gain their morals? I am not using this as evidence that atheists are wrong, but merely to get information.
