In UK atheists considred more moral than theists.

[possibletarian]

What is an athiest's moral authority? What puts them on the same moral page?

Same moral page as who. the guy who wants people to be stoned to death for rubbing two sticks together on a Sabbath, ?
Seriously let me make this absolutely clear

We do not want to be on the same page as your murderous bible, no, not ever !

It's so obvious that it was written with the animalistic moral's and basic understandings that existed at the time that it can be dismissed out of hand.  I suspect even christians wouldn't want to live under the 'perfect' moral's of the bible.  Which is why 'Grace' made it's appearance.

You can sin, and blame it on your sinful self, Romans 7:20
But if I do what I don't want to do, I am not really the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.

Instead of really dealing with what is wrong they simply ask forgiveness, after all it is not really yourself who does the sinning.

That is why people think athiest are more moral in the UK, it's not that they are better people it's Because they don't make excuse after excuse and then carry on as if nothing had happened. It's a con, grow up and deal with the things you do.
