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.

    Huh. So maybe I’m not the genius you claimed I think I am and actually the idiot I think I am.

    Can you imagine? You not being right about me?

      Yes, I can imagine. You are probably somewhat self-aware that you are a moron. That’s why you commit an appeal to authority fallacy in your initial comment.

      But keep on imaging that you can play epistemic games with me.

        Somewhat? I literally said I’m an idiot. Where is the somewhat? How much more direct do I have to be?
