That answer was an epic win to a depressing question. I love how they put a lot of effort into writing an essay-like response to a completely ignorant question. It just goes to show the difference in intelligence and etiquette between atheists and aw well, never mind...
It's cool that there are a lot of very intelligent people on Y! Answers, but there are also a lot of very stoopid people. The composition is a completely even mix of extremes.

Yes I have noticed a pattern of intelligent response vs mindless pounding on the keyboard. If you want to see a humorous example of this (though I didn't have space to write an essay) see my post "stupid conversation I recently had on Facebook" http://atheistforums.org/thread-9395.html It's funny.
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise

I love Cüneyt Arkin movies, but I can't recall this title. Is that the Lion Man or a more recent police action film?

Religion has been the way of the world for all but the past hundred years, and despite your beliefs atheism is still largely on the fringe. Religion has given
us the basis of modern day morality and has been a part of every great civilization - versus atheism which was the foundation of communism. Get off your high horse.

Something about the horse you rode in under. Meh, nothing to add beyond that.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Religion is most certainly not responsible for modern day morality. It is responsible for ancient and medieval morality. Modern morality is due to progressivism, and an increase in rationalism. Religious morality is inferior, oppressive, and almost always becomes corrupt.
Also, atheism has nothing to do with communism, that just shows how little you know, and are just spouting out talking points.

First of all - thank you ... that is one of the strongest arguments against religion I have heard in some time. The fact that a trolly jew thinks it is a good defense of religion is spot-on. (thank you for the hearty laugh)
and continuing theReal Wrote:- versus atheism which was the foundation of communism. Get off your high horse.
holy shit --- who the hell have you been listening to??? You have got to verify shit before you go spewing it out little one. That's just the kind of stupidity that earns you the Waldork Award.
Epic Fail.

You're right my first sentence wasn't too clear - I think you know what I mean however.
Almost all of the great champions of modern morality were religious. We can both agree that the original form and practice of religion was no good, but it was much more tolerant than anything else that was around at that time. Also, with its evolution from fundamentalism/extremism to what it is now (I'm referring to moderate Christianity/Judaism/Islam), almost all of modern morality has spawned from it.
