Crosspost from !atheism@feddit.de.

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.

      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.

              “Why do you even give a shit”

              Why did you post it? My reason for posting a criticism is atleast as valid as yours for posting the initial comment. The primary difference is that my clearly satirical fake quote wasn’t deliberately conveying a false statement.

              “Just block me”

              Please people, don’t criticise me!

              If you announce something to the public, the public can respond back. The world isn’t a pulpit to preach from.
