Probably blame my poor phrasing, because my own personal exegesis was that the religious person has other things that factor into their decision making, even though they may also simply want to do the right thing.  I think the teaching was more to illustrate the fact that the athiest has nothing else that factors in.

Again, not my tradition so I defer to those for whom it is.
