For example:
1. The Law of Identity states an object is the same as itself. A = A
2. .The Law of Excluded Middle says a statement is either true or its negation is.
3. The Law of Non-Contradiction states that contradictory statements cannot both at the same time be true.
These laws are true whether a person agrees or disagrees, they do not change, and they are not dependent on space or time. If they did then there would be no basis for rationality at all.
So how do atheists account for truth?
Note that your three laws of logic concern statements. But who can make any kind of statement? Humans, imbecile.
Ergo, without humans, there are no statements, and without statements, there are no laws of logic. End of story.
