Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey
And this, dear nephew, since you asked, is why I call myself a "militant atheist".
Not that he doesn't already think religion is responsible for so much evil in the world. He was never inculcated with its hypocrisy, inerrant nonsense and bullying premise.
Can't we all just get along? Sure, religion has been behind some heinous things, but it is the fervent leaders, not the masses--and atheism's got the same stink on it with Mao & Stalin. I'm not saying atheists can be blamed for mass slaughter, just pointing out that it there is something in human nature that produces these events and it isn't limited to religion.
He's so right. It seems so cut and dry, but with each religion believing their God is THE ONLY one, we have a history of atrocities in the name of god and believers who are so quick to overlook the bad things done and chalk it up to God's Plan or Will.
Hear here!
