Look who's "delusional"! You're the one under a rock?
But...most likely in a shrinking suburb where your biggest problem is watering your brown lawn.
Let me enlighten you: Society is NOT functioning fine! As a matter of fact its falling apart because of the joint efforts to "demoralize" its people.
And what have all the "laws" gotten us? More lawyers. Laws aren't morals. They are rules to be broken and to get around. And who is teaching these 100,000's of laws to our kids? YOU? Their parents? Or is it TV's, video games and movie stars?
And talking about lack of "COMMON SENSE"!? Your idea of a moral society functioning with no bases for it's appearance is actually laughable and ignorant! Actually it's more than a lack of common sense on your part! Its a detachment from freaking reality!
Next time you're in the inner-city take a walk around and spread the love to your fellow godless moral brothers! There are plenty of atheist's here! And hopefully you'll make it back to your chaise in the 'burbs!
The funny thing is that you can take as many stabs at secular morality as you want, but in reality you're no better:
(1) Humanity hasn't discovered the set of objective morals since the dawn of civilization.
(2) Theists can't agree upon a set of objective morals even until this day.
The fact is that if you don't know what these objective morals are, then you can't possibly be living by them, meaning that your everyday moral actions are coming from a subjective interpretation of morality by definition. This is evident by the mere fact that theists argue all the time about what's in and what's not.
You'll just have to deal with it. We are the ones who have to think for ourselves to determine what the best way to live is. Not some metaphoric projection of human thought that is the god of the Biblical narrative. We have always been the gods on this world and always will be.
