What motivates some sects of Buddhists to value claims of Karma?
We argue Christian morality because that is what we run into the most.
The more I see this on top of my 13 years, the more I see that even atheists get stuck in the moment and stuck on one label, which does not take into account our species flawed perception in evolutionary terms.
I am not saying do not argue one label, it is still needed. But it should also be done in the context of how evolution leads to gap filling overall. I am sure you have read "The God Delusion" but also important and to me more important books are "God The Failed Hypothesis" and "The New Atheism" By Victor Stenger, that address a very broad evolutionary scope as to why religions are set up and used to justify morality. In the end our evolutionary reality is that our species capability of being cruel or compassionate are in our evolutionary behavior, and not books of myth or religious cluibs of any label in our species history.
I would say however, the god of Abraham claims are particularly immoral as human invented constructs because the head character itself is an immovable figure whom, at best, will only be kind to you as long as you agree and market him and or defend him without dissent.
Overall though, our species still, even if these religions were scrapped, we would still be capable of cruelty because evolution works through both brute and compassion.
