The opposite of Christian is not 'atheist', it's 'not Christian'.Tolstoy has the moral fruits you think come from christian salvation. So do I. The only people we've so far considered who don't seem to have those fruits, according to you..is the majority of "christians". How come christianity doesn't work on christians, and why..in your estimation, are christians trash human beings relative to godfless anti-theists like myself, or heretical others™ like Tolstoy?
Why does everyone else keep getting the fruits, and why do christians need them in the first place?

Certainly not the same thing as following a objective, very specific list.
That's -exactly- what the term deontological ethics refers to. Bound by moral duty to a set of rules.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
