The people that believe in religion would crash out running around without morals since many of them only have them because of religion. "But if you don't believe in god, why do you not shit people with empathy would never do" They went to the same schools we did, watched the same media, yet they need religion for empathy, you think theyd be tolerable at all without it? People would be acting like the crossed.

    Christopher Hitchens did a thing on that exact thing. How is it you can't have any morals sans a sky daddy?

    I do hear the argument often and it's quite depressing.

    You do not need religion to tribe with people. As mammals, we group to survive. Morality is what you and your tribe decide are wrongs and rights. Religion need not exist.
    Empathy is a discipline that requires praxis. Not everyone grows empathy, and we need to intersect.
