CMV: Secular morality is fatally handicapped without an afterlife

When it comes to ethics and morality I always tend to find secular arguments toothless for one primary reason: The atheist/progressive worldview has no hell for me to burn in, no punishment for not embracing their tenets, so why should I care about whether or not i'm a good person by any of their standards?

Mind you, i'm not talking about being law-abiding citizen: I'm talking about all those other ways you can be an asshole without being a murderer, a rapist or what have you. I just feel progressivism will forever lack teeth in trying to guide people's principles because if there's no afterlife and therefore no punishment/reward after all is said and done, why care what they think?

Being a good person because "then ill get in to heaven" is not nearly as noble (being good for your own benfit) as being a good person because being a good person (being good for the benefit of others). 

On the same note, "I wont do that bad thing because i dont want to go to hell" is a terrible reason to do/not do something. "I wont do that bad thing because it would hurt others" is a much better reason to do/not do it.
