I keep reading and hearing about how atheists and agnostics have no morals and do all sorts of immoral things. Hmmm, I act quite ethical and moral in my own behavior. So what I am doing wrong here? How do I get in on this immoral fun everyone is having?
Unfortunatly you need the hypocrisy of religion to be immoral if you're an inherently moral person.
Sorry.
@creative51 on the bright side you wake up in jail far, far less often. So silver linings and all that.
Most people are born into a religion, nominally at least, and for most people the reason for leaving it it lack of evidence, but the motivation for leaving it, is usually moral repugnance at the poor moral values of religion. And since leaving it takes effort and thought, plus has often a real price, I have generally found that sceptics tend to be very moral people.
