“If the message at all is to believers, it would be that we are good moral people, too.”
Atheist + Morals = Oxymoron. If you do not believe in God then on what authority does this morality come from? There is no point in morality if you are an atheist.
Well, it’s more than that. If you don’t believe in God, why would you choose to be moral at all?
If this life is all you got, shouldn’t you be grabbing all you can get?
If your neighbor gets in the way, why wouldn’t you whack him?
To me, the Mafia represents true atheists.
