The video dimwit fails his own assertion in the first few minutes. We're talking "morals" not "compassion" or "empathy".

Serial killers display compassion and empathy to certain people and animals from time to time. But they can never be moral.

As atheist cannot be "moral" as he denies the religious basis from with morality stems. It's like someone claiming they love white chocolate, but hate chocolate. White chocolate isn't even chocolate, it's vanilla flavouring and cocoa butter.

It's no wonder so called "humanists" and atheists fall into the same categories as antivaxxers and flat earthers. It's opinions, and feelings they are working on, while deluding others to their machinations, so they feel less alone and silly.

It doesn't matter I know some sick religious people that have done some disgusting things and they use the Bible in the name of God in Jesus to belittle other people for what they might have done

But they used the Bible in their religion to say it's okay for what they have done I think it's disgusting

It doesn't matter if people have religion or don't have religion morals values and ethics come from within on who you are

You can't put a group of people together

And said one has more morals values and ethics than the other group does

It's based on individually

you would think religious people would be more moral since they know what's right and wrong... but that can be subjective... it's really more about character... i can be religious and say someone is going to hell and be judgmental... but the only one who can judge is god... it's really a loaded question and not to easy to answer as you'd think.

Non-religious. They don't need the threat of "eternal damnation" to be moral, they just are moral.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

From what I've seen, the non-religious!! I've been anti-religion for at least half a century and I'd NEVER even THINK about doing to my siblings what my holier than thou, bible-thumping ex-sister did to me 4 years ago!!
I'm ALWAYS hearing horror stories about people that went to religious schools and were brought up in religious families!! A good example is at least the first half of the movie, "Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit". Because of their STUPID fucking beliefs, they nearly LET a little girl DIE and then acted like it was a wonderful thing that god did!! What a bunch of fucking PSYCHOS!! I'm SOOOO glad I'm not in any of those cults!!
I have NO USE for ANY religion yet, I'm always doing nice things for people!!

First, you would need to define "moral" in a way that could be objectively measured, because subjective evaluations will have inherent biases either for against Christianity. Many users are responding on the basis of religious people who did ridiculous and absurd things, but examples do not prove anything about the entire group. I know physicians who are greedy and incompetent, but that doesn't mean they are all greedy and incompetent.

NathanDavis · Answer

this goes down to the individual...

and not about generalizing large and vast groups of people...

even by my personal experience... some of the GREATEST people in my life, are people of faith but there is also other AS great who are not religious at all

and viceversa... when it comes to the worst of what I've seen in some people, lol

JacobJordan · Answer

Non-religious. Religious people can be moral and generally. However any morals they have are from the religion. Non religious people that are morally centered had to come up with what morals they follow themselves meaning those morals have far more weight on that person's life because those morals resonate with you.

sawno · Answer

I think its equal, its much more your nature than it is to follow someone elses moral code. If you are a moral person it won't matter if you are religious or not, and many people who do follow religious morals who are not actually moral are faking it.

Meropatrick · Answer

Neither. Religion is being replaced by political agendas. Where politicians and activists are the priests and prophets. You wanna see a new era inquisition look at JK rowling being burned at the stake for talking common sense about a man not being in a female fitting room. If jk rowling was a poor woman she would have suffered after that losing her job and being broke. But because she is a billionare she survived that

syncheart · Answer

The belief structure between the religious and non-religious is different, therefor how they come to the conclusion of what is moral and not moral is different. If we are talking about Christianity, sometimes the non-religious act more Christian then the Christians do. And sometimes Christians will act more non-religious then the non-religious do. Life is hard, and all you can do is do the best you can. As a believer in Jesus, I try to follow the bible. But sometimes I get lost in interpretations. Sometimes when hard things happen, and I need to forgive someone that wronged me, it isn't easy. You just never know what life is going to throw at you, or how you are going to react when it happens. I do not know why some religious people are jerks. I was on a three different Christian forums and I left two of them because I didn't like how they were treating me. And I could give you plenty of negative examples like that.

if we define evil as breaking someone else's window, than anyone harming a human fetus or trying to justify it, is far worse than breaking a window, and by this immoral. 2, similarly among violaters of laws i don't mean red light and parking laws but the severe harmful criminals are non-religious. and as someone pointed out terrorist are muslim but not most of muslims.

rigmarole · Answer

Atheism is a religion. It was first recognized as a state religion as the Cult of Reason in France. It is officially recognized as a religion by the Supreme Court of the United States.

Grond21 · Answer

You need a religious framework in order to justify your moral system. Not in order to make moral decisions, but in order to justify the system itself. Thus, it is nonsensical to say that a non religious belief system is more moral than a religious belief system.

Guido · Answer

My experience has been that more religious people tend to be quite hypocritical. They talk a good story but don't actually live it. They figure as long as they pray for forgiveness then they can do what they want.

Pohjolan · Answer

I'd say that Islam pushes the scale to non-religious people being more moral.

Of course form the perspective of those who kill children for eating ice cream during the wrong time of the day its the other way around.
