While I agree the conclusion isn't true, I have yet to see any modern, public atheists write anything one quarter decent about morality. I have seen some very bad writing about morality, such as in The God Delusion, which can't be helping matters.
If you disagree, post a source.
- axod 18y agoThe us is roughly twice as religeous as the uk. Is it twice as moral? I'd say crime is quite a bit higher in the us. In my experience growing up in the uk (majority of people are not religeous), the majority DO have a good sense of what is right and wrong.
- xlnt 18y agoOh certainly, I agree. However, the lack of (non-awful) explicit, atheistic writing on morality is still an important problem, and helps religious people get away with denying atheists can be moral. If you are moral, but can't explain why, it's easier for people to doubt.
