Where do atheists get their morality from?

[greneknight]

We all ultimately get our morality from religion. No matter how much many will say that religious law does not affect their morality, they are still affected by thousands of years of religious law becoming secular law. Even if the religions behind those laws are long extinct, their legacy still remains.

Hi Polaris,

I thank you for being honest about the fact that you are a Christian. It's very irritating when a Christian comes here and pretends to be an atheist but everyone knows he's telling a lie. I know even you wouldn't approve of that. How can such a Christian talk about morality when he can't even be honest to begin with?

What you wrote above is incorrect. Religious laws, for example, Mosaic law, are evil, cruel, unjust and immoral. Today's laws and our justice system do not follow these cruel religious laws. What modern men do is to formulate good laws. Some of these laws may coincide with those cruel religious laws and there's all there is to it. We today are decent enough to abandon the cruel Law of Moses and ALL of us including Christians spurn the law of Moses for its obvious injustice and evil.
