However, what i am saying is let society be realistic. Wanna know why i think its bad? Because i saw Aldous Huxley's Brave New World.
I dont know about you but this is nightmare material to me.

Here is the link to the plot on wikipedia if not i have some youtube links to explain it more. It would be a hedonistic nightmare.

Do you really think you are the first to argue atheists are immoral?
"atheist" DOES NOT MEAN, lawless or orgies in the street. I am sorry someone sold you that bullshit, but that is your baggage, not ours.
No label, not Christian, not Muslim, not Jew, not Buddhist, and not even "atheist" dictate if a human will do either good or bad. Our labels are merely that. OUR behaviors are not magical battles between comic book heros vs ground trolls. OUR species behaviors good or bad, have ALWAYS been in the individual, in our genes, in our evolution.
You are either good or bad, nothing determines that except YOU the individual.
We do NOT value monsters like Hitler or Stalin.
We WONT barbecue your kittens or rape your women.
1. "atheist" is not a religion, not a political party, not an economic view.
2. "atheist" merely means "off" on God/gods/deity claims. NOTHING MORE. Outside that, if you want to know what an individual atheists holds as a position on those issues you'd do better to ask that individual atheist and DONT ASSUME.
AS AN ASIDE.
Huxley was an IDIOT when he concocted that horrible word "agnostic". That word never existed in ancient Greece FYI.
In ancient Greece the prefix "a" meant "without". In ancient Greece "gnostic" meant "knowledge". Neither were used in combo by the Greeks <------NEITHER tell you what you are without knowledge of even in combo which Huxley did way after the fact.
So if you are to use the word PROPERLY "agnostic" HAS TO be put in front of either "theist" or "atheist" as a qualifier.
An agnostic theist, is one who doesn't know if a god exists, but leans to one existing.
An agnostic atheist, is one who doesn't claim to know if a god exists, but leans to "off".
The other STUPID thing Huxley never took into account was TIME FRAME as far as past claims, current claims, and future possibilities.
CURRENTLY, for me, my position is "off" on all past and current claims. The only thing I am "agnostic" about is the future, but currently I am "off" on god claims. Thus I am an "agnostic atheist".
Nobody here is, or should claim we should force any religion out of existence. But if our species never questioned social norms, our species never would have left the caves.
