I would be floored if it took more than one hand to count the number of atheists on this board who weren’t realists....and I’ve been having these discussions here for almost a decade.
Interestingly enough, I used to be on the other side of the line, here, myself.
We’re conditioned to defer to descriptive moral subjectivity and relativism as a function of tolerance and skepticism.
Even more powerfully, atheists commonly reject moral realism ( a position that they actually do hold, overwhelmingly, lol) as it smacks of religion or theism. This is due primarily to nutters like Acro using the term for anything -but- moral realism. Then, when they’re done, some other nut takes up the cause and argues against realism by arguing against things other-than realism. As above.
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!
