That's why I don't think it would make sense for an atheist to say they think morality is objective. But most don't.

I thought you accepted natural law theory, and here you are pushing divine command. Tsk, tsk.



Natural Law and belief in God go hand in hand.

.
Quote:Natural law is a philosophy asserting that certain rights are inherent by virtue of human nature, endowed by nature—traditionally by God or a transcendent source—and that these can be understood universally through human reason.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_law
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
