Where do atheists get their morality from?

[Boccaccio]

It appears that stephenmills1000 has disappeared, perhaps not wanting to answer the questions I raised in the last few paragraphs here.

Are you now the person with whom to speak, Atom? If so, would you mind taking up those questions on stephenmills behalf?

I suspect he went to sleep and attended Church. hock:

What, for about three days?

So, are you going to respond, or would you like to wake up Stephenmills so he could respond?

You also have made no reply to my point addressed directly to you in the same post about evidence (not anecdote) for empathic behaviour in animals. Should we search Google Scholar for current research on your behalf, or as a scientist is that something you can do?

Your opening question has already been answered, albeit not as you expected. You have no evidence and no adequate epistemology for a god-based morality whereas animals survive and prosper in co-operative groups, and we substantially refine basic reciprocity into more ordered and complete moral systems which have served for our survival so far.
