Or is it a social convention, which means it is a subjective view?First, atheism doesn't dictate a point of view about the objectivity of moral statements. Secondly, it thus depends on whom you ask. I lean towards "killing people" - if you mean unjustified killing - "is morally wrong" as being an objective fact.
Thanks for any answers!
