Saying that, not having a diety to blame/follow puts the onus on the individual, so atheists actions are ther own and they cannot blame the devil or god for thier actions
I'm just a bit confused by what exactly you're saying. Are you saying that atheists think morals aren't real? Or that they don't matter? Or that athiests ignore morality? I just can't tell which it is, again I'm just trying to understand
No I'm not saying that morals dont exist, or that they dont matter, just that atheism has nothing to say on the matter.
All atheism is a stance of the existance of a deity, individuals morals are outside of this and up to the individual.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
