As an atheist, I have no moral standpoint in any arguments - everything is just opinion for me.....

I think an athiest can be just as strong in their opinions as a religious person. An example would be some existentialist philosophies which put forward a view that it is down to the individual to create meaning in their life.

I feel that you can say, as an athiest, that the sexual abuse of children is very wrong. For example, a buddhist who doesn't believe in God would say that it's wrong on the grounds that it causes a great deal of suffering to the child.

I'm interestsed, what basis do buddhists use for saying that suffering is "wrong" without a belief in god?

I think it's important to realize that values are possible without a supernatural being mandating them.

but how would you, or the buddha (whichever you think will help me most) claim that their view was right, against someone who said that they didn't care about causing suffering, to himself or anyone else? How would you say he was actually "wrong?"
