  • Either your argument is that morality is somehow “god given” through religion, in which case I have to ask, which god? Which religion? There’s a lot of those around or no longer around, with different nuances of morality, contradicting that idea.

    Or each civilization developed religion and incorporated their respectove ideas about morality, but then morality necessarily precedes religiosity.

    Either way, doesn’t make sense.

    Besides, the idea that a fear of god is necessary to make people “moral” is ridiculous. If you would commit immoral atrocities if you didn’t believe in god, then I’m sorry, that makes you a bad person; but don’t project that unto other people.

    Empathy is sufficient for morality, while god, arguably, is an amoral monster.

    Cheers, a moral atheist
