I'm glad I'm not the only one affronted by this little shortcut
I really resent the assumption made by a lot of people that being atheist means you have no moral basis to your life.

I think I may have to put up a post about the little booklet I was handed outside Clapham Junction, which tells us all, through the medium of a little comic book, why atheists are analogous to Nazis...

Totally agree....
.. It's much more significant to act in a moral way because that is how you believe you should live than to do so because you believe you will be damned for eternity if you don't do what God tells you.

Chimps, dogs, even crows I believe, can be shown to have an innate sense of fairness. If they can find this, we should be able to do so without that sort of threat.
