I'm not saying they're not - please don't get that impression. I'm saying that those who suggest atheists, or even those of different religions, are immoral only because they don't follow the same rule book, are afraid they wouldn't be able to control their own impulses if put under different circumstances without the threat of one god or another. I'd love for people to understand that it is quite within you to be a good, kind, generous and helpful person without all the trappings of religion.
Or with different religious trappings. I know a lot of people whose religions are important to them, and I do adore them - Christian or otherwise - though I do wish they'd stress a little less and realize that their goodness comes from the person they are and their natural empathy and compassion, not because Jesus or Allah or Jehovah put it in their head to be so.
