With no G-d, what moral axioms do they use to call religion evil?

Good point, but I'm afraid it will be missed by those that don't already get it.

People who are bad at making good moral decisions are usually the best at justifying themselves, and the least good at understanding morality. The guy quoted at the top of the article of coarse thinks he is too good for God. We are talking psychosis here. It is both fascinating and unnerving to try to talk sense about morality with someone desperately hiding from God.

Their favorite ones, that of a condescending oligarchy of secular humanists. Looking back to the glory days of likes of Freud, Jung, Sanger, and other so-called scientists who zealously fought to deny the presence of God, our modern day Illuminati do not merely deny the existince of God, they openly hate Him and work diligently to lash out at Him. On the one hand, they worship at the altar of Charles Darwin's evolution theory, supposing man to be no more noble than apes. On the other hand, they feel it their role to enlighten man from the chains of religion as if they have some moral duty to do so.

Truly, the athiest of the day is in a moral dilemma. If one were to bonk them over the head with a large stick, they would protest, but on what grounds? If we're simply the product of evolution, then let the process play itself out, bonk 'em on the head. Survival of the fittest, baby.

They use the same thing that the God people do: subjective human decision making.

"With no G-d, what moral axioms do they use to call religion evil?"

My inexpert understanding is that the field of sociobiology is
trying to explain the general human concept of "Moral Law" in terms
of evolution and biology.
My best guess is they are simply aiming to say "morality arose and
persisted because it gives an evolutionary advantage".
(I hope that's not an unfair representation.)

This attempt by sociobiologists is mentioned in this book that I've just
started reading:

"The Language of God: A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief "
