Atheists are commonly accused of being too morally flexible, being that with no god figure playing big brother and no threat of eternal damnation, any John or Jane Q. Public is liable to start killing people left and right. Obviously this theory is grounded in reason, because I for one have never heard of any war fought in the name of God: That would be absurd. Nonreligious people are often portrayed as self-serving individuals, concerned only with their own wants, hedonistic threats to society. For what reason this stereotype developed, I don’t know. But with the evidence stacked up against it, atheism appears to be in a bad way.
Wait, what evidence?
I’m looking for proof that belief in science and reason over a great bearded man in the sky is directly harmful to humankind as a whole. If our country’s so terrified of atheists, I’d like to know why. The theory that a godless life leads to moral corruption is frighteningly untrue.
