Moral standards

[Brian37]

In an atheist world, where do the standards by which moral actions are measured come from?

That won't happen since there is no such thing as a utopia. It would be stupid for atheists to claim the word denotes a list or code. The word is a position, not a loyalty oath or moral code. I know of atheists who have economic "fuck you I got mine" views, which I do not find moral.

The only approach I see is allow for differences and insist on non-violence. Set the individual first without blind loyalty. It does not take a label to know you don't like your shit being stolen, or selfish violence to gain property, like robbing someone of their wallet. Not even claiming to be an atheist will automatically make a person be good or do good.

We are not a separate species so not even atheists should think falsely that because we are the world's minority that if we became a majority we would automatically do good all the time. Our evolution as a species will always contain acts of cruelty and compassion.

I will only say when you understand evolution and psychology and human behavior it can help better manage things, but our species will never be perfect.
