If you have time please take a moment to help me understand more of the atheist view. These questions are intended for those who espouse the atheist view but if you are from another belief system feel free to answer.
What do you consider as prime reality?
What is the purpose of history or does it serve a purpose?
How did human existence begin?
What is morality?
Where do you decide what is right and wrong?
What do you believe in with absolute certainty?
Thanks in advance.

1. I’m not sure what you mean by “prime reality”. Could you be more specific?
2. The quick and dirty answer is that empathy drives the foundations of my moral sense.
3. I don’t believe anything with absolute certainty. As a rational skeptic, my positions are always tentative, and will change based on new information.
