Christians, how many of you would go out and start killing and raping if you lost your religion?

It's a common thing to hear about our morals, yet the vast majority of atheists are NOT killing or raping etc.

So I want to know, which of you are murderous rapists, only being held in check by a belief in a deity.

    Peter: do you think that means dr.Dawkins thinks rape is morally acceptable? If so, then you have just answered the question with 'yes', and you should probably be incarcerated and/or castrated.

    Nor, in fact, does any other philosophy.

    No one denies you can act morally.

    What you can NOT do is *justify* your morals. The atheist philosophy has no objective justification for any act being more/less moral than any other act (as Peter already pointed out above).

    I believe most atheists have pretty good morals and abide by what society expects
