An overview of studies which investigate correlations between morality and religious vs. secular / atheist ideologies presented by Phil Zuckerman who is a professor of sociology and secular studies at the Claremont colleges in California, USA. Summary: Atheists / secular people not only have morals but are even more moral than religious people. Note: Of course moral is a matter of perspective. In this context we agree that compassion and empathy are our foundations of moral.

      If this is all just a game about writing a string of characters, then why are you complaining about my comment?

      If it’s not then why are you endorsing a false statement?

        Do you really not understand that people can say things which other people can agree with without being able to prove them? What do you want, a morality survey?

          I understand it. It’s not a logical action. You’re not some misunderstood super genius, you’re a standard internet poster who blindly accepts and endorses false statements simply because it agrees with your preconceived notions.

          I like how this entire time you’re arguing for why you posted it (which nobody actually cares about), and not actually defending the statement made.

              You literally forgot that you posted a quote claiming that religion is necessary for immoral actions?

              Are you actually so stupid that external parties understand your motivations better than you?

                Insulting me does not clarify your previous post, but it does make me uninclined to talk with you further. I have very little interest in incivility.

                  There is nothing to clarify, especially since you never even specified what confused you.

                  “It does make me uninclined to talk to you further”

                  Oh no, what shall I do?

                    Everything you say confuses me, starting with you having some issue with me pasting a quote. Why do you even give a shit? If you don’t like what I post, just block me.
