But in any case, an Atheist wouldn't believe there would be any consequence to lying, one way or another.

Feelings of guilt? Possible negative consequences for the person being lied to?

You're right in saying that Atheists define our own morals, and that's exactly the point: most of us DO set ourselves moral boundaries. I'd say it's a relative minority who go around saying "No-one compels me to do good, therefore I'll do what I like".
