Not sure where you got that idea.
Pride
Humility will never ask that you remain content with littleness. ²But it does require that you be not content with less than greatness that comes not of you. (https://acim.org/acim/en/s/222#3:1-2 | T-18.IV.3:1-2)
It is false that a non-religious person's morals are backed by nothing. I have read the Bible more than once and I appreciate many of its teachings and tenets. I do not claim to know it's veracity. I also read "the Virtue of Selfishness" by Ayn Rand and recommend you do the same. Not to change your thinking, but to expand your understanding of how those who do not necessarily believe in the magical stories of the Bible, nor trust that it is not a tool of manipulation by the elites of their time, nor profess to know the unknowable or believe the unbelievable, could possibly have a "backing" for their morality and dedication to improving one's self and the world around them out of love for both.
A person that does not believe in a God nor his creation must then believe that we are stardust that has become intelligent bags of meat, with brain fizzing that controls how we think and feel, in the end, and in the grand scheme of things murder has no moral bearing since its just bags of meat bumping to other bags of meat. Our existence is fleeting and in the blink of an eye we will be gone. I am not saying you have no sense of morals, no you do, but only because there is a god and he is apart of you. You think like you have a soul but pretend it doesn't exist.
