Question for Atheists
#8
RE: Question for Atheists
In regards to the origins of morality, most atheists I've met understand morality through naturalistic and evolutionary means, though you may meet an atheistic Buddhist or Taoist who is far more spiritual.

I believe I've already posted this before, but it does pertain to your question of morality so:





If you wanted a take on morality from an evolutionary perspective I'd recommend Richard Dawkin's The Selfish Gene. Social cohesion is vital for the survival of many species, as such morality plays an important role in surviving and thriving as well.
"Faith is about taking a comforting, childlike view of a disturbing and complicated world." ~ Edward Current
