Minor Premise: If a moral, infinite being exists, then such a being has moral obligations, namely, to reveal, unambiguously, objective moral truths to Us, His Creation.
Conclusion: Since such a clear revelation has never occurred, therefore, god does not exist.
There is no moral argument for being a theist or atheist. There is only evolution. Of course old mythology and claims of super natural beings which are nothing more than human projections are crap, the word "atheist" is not a moral code. I merely means "off" on claims of deities/gods/supernatural.
It does not mean the person holding the "off" position will only do good their entire life. I have known atheists in my past whom I hate on economic issues. Ayn Rand who said "'fuck you I got mine" to me is not moral, but neither are the atheists who sport the "Che" avatar whom think his "revolution" that lead to Castro's Cuba was a good thing.
"Atheist" is NOT a moral code and neither is any other label. You are either a decent human or you are not. The only thing an atheist can argue logically is that our species behaviors are not coming from a divine source from above.
God does not exist of course, but that does not mean human behavior is a patent owned by atheists.
God does not exist yes, I agree. But unfortunately humans project their own qualities into the form of non existent Superman form.
Claims of "revelation" have always existed, scientific? Of course not. But lets not assume if the world's 7 billion were suddenly all atheist, that there would be no divisions or conflict.
