Where do atheists get their morality from?

[Polaris]

Back then, there wasn't a concept as secular morality. The two were the same, religion was at the center of life because it provided a common link between members of tribes and tribes themselves. Secularism is a recent phenomena and using it to describe societies of the past will likely lead you to confusion because you notice evidence that does not point to secular societies but rather to societies centered upon primitive worship and laws derived to adapt to this worship.

If you go by your logic that you can't know anything without seeing it, then we should throw history books out into the trash. But since it is clearly evident through archaeology of the purpose of certain sites, that is not necessary.

Chimps and elephants mourn, but that is nothing similar to worshiping....animals have displayed similar behavioral characteristics for hundreds of millions of years as evidenced in the fossil record (yes, many specimen have been found in still-life conditions)....they were not worshiping, just expressing their minimalistic nature like my stupid cat who whines when no one is around to pet him.

I have the evidence....the issue is not whether I have the evidence, it is whether you will throw away your preconceived notions out the window and actually examine the evidence using academic procedure....this is ultimately no different than showing a fossil of a Coelophysis to a Young Earth Creationist and them telling you it was a trick by the Devil.
