Justice is justice. It needs no qualifier .Social justice is evil and unfairly groups people by ethnicity or cultural background. Ignoring individual rights and actions. ... It has as much moral standing as identity politics.

I believe very strongly in socialism and human rights and I call myself a 'practising atheist' on the grounds that I try to show in my way of life that we don't need to be frightened of a god watching us to make us behave decently. But I don't think the lack of belief in a god necessarily makes you a person who believes in any other particular philosophy of life. I think that comes much more from the kind of person you are, your background, and how you were brought up. For evidence, look at the various right-wing groups on this site.

We have an obligation to contribute to the definition of social values, and to see that morality is de-linked from religion.

I voted yes, because I believe everyone has a moral obligation to stand up for social justice and equality, but it has little to do with being an atheist.

It might quell some of the negativity people have about who we are.

As a humanbeing I believe its important to be a humanist, no matter what you belive in or don't. Just because we are atheists, does not mean all our ideals line up. The only thing athiest means is a lack of bilef in a deity. I feel it is incredibly important for us to show that we also identify as humanists, to show that compassion for our fellow humans. To show our morality, and that we don't need a set guide to have it.

I like to live by a simple cliche "don't be an a-hole". It has done me well so far.

It's inherently dangerous to start taking a good idea and attaching it to a moral code. As we have seen with our religious brother in for time in memoriam what usually happens is that the Merit of the idea in the mayor of the code become indistinguishable from one another. it is entirely possible that we think is very ethical and Progressive today will be shunned by Future generations and they may there for Shun any institutions that present those morals as part of what they are. it is absolutely good and just to seek morality in the world to help others find morality and to Actis translator between arguing factions of moral idealists, but when doing so it is best to do so as a human or as an ethical academic rather than as any sort of political party or other such membership.

If you claim to be an A-theist, then you simply reject the claim of a god(s) existence. That is all there is to an A-theist.

Considering that religious people often don't understand us, and the number of people with no belief continues to grow - I believe that we do need to define standards to help others identify who we are - whether we do that as individuals or as a community is really the question.
