Why don’t you think an atheist can successfully form a version of morality through logic?

For the same reason you can't smell a color. Look, Sam Harris went to the effort of writing an entire book trying to justify a logic-based moral system, and the entire book boils down to "gratuitous human suffering is wrong and if you don't believe that then you're crazy". Now Harris can be an insufferable twat but he's no dummy, and that's the best he can do. It's not like this is a new question that nobody's attempted to answer before.
