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?
(My bolded and capped insertions to label what I think you are guilty of here.) In all of this you assume that morals are more than how we have been conditioned to feel about interactions which impend on others or our perception of the common good. Getting angry about how obvious that seems to you does not serve you well. It does not convince.

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!
You make numerous assumptions about how others come to hold the beliefs they do but seem singularly unreflective as to the origins of your own. This is a recipe for becoming an irrelevant old blowhard. Trust me, you don't want to be that guy.
