Maybe 50 or 60 years from now when science finally proves that all of you are right and there is no God..... and religion dies out for you!
Where as a society will the moral compass come from? Considering of course you even want a moral society?
-------------
THE idea that being moral in order to gain a reward - is NOT being moral to begin with. Being moral - is doing something simply because it is the correct thing to do
If you need to be bribed to be moral - you are not actually being moral - and that is the basis of religion - so WHERE does YOUR moral compass come from
Obviously - it can come form the existing moral compass that xtianity stole from prior religions - since the basis for the moral compass of xtianity is another religion - Judaism.
THERE is NOTHING that is in xtianity that did not exist BEFORE xtianity - from the golden rule - which is in the Rig Veda - to the moral rules of Buddha and Confucius - which cover far more than xtiaity to begin with
Being intelligent creatures - the elimination of the dominance of a particular religion would allow us to read the writing oF all religions - and put together a truly moral society based on the one thing that xtians cannot claim - that things are done for the correct reason - because they are the correct thing to do
