Atheists; what do you base your morals on?

[smax]

Contrary to popular belief, man, not god, developed moral reasoning.

Don't think so?

Then explain why moral reason has, like man, evolved?

200 years ago, the majority of the world (even the "godly religious" people) felt slavery was acceptable and not morally objectionable. Now, the opposite is true.

And that argument has literally thousands and thousands of other references.

A person's morals are based on a combination of elements:

Upbringing, the influence of society, social standards, personal preferences, etc.

Has religion influenced morals?

Yes and no. As I said, neither god, nor religion, are the orgin of morals, one way or the other. But religion has promoted, perpetuated, and even inforced moral standards both good and bad.

Ultimately, it's up to the individual to carefully examine all of the information available and decide what is truly right and wrong. Unfortunately, the vast majority of individuals do not choose to examine all of the information. And religion, more than any other force, influences such neglect and ignorance.
