In fact, history has shown that atheists can form morally upright communities.
France and China?
What, no Cuba, North Korea? :)
Somehow if one asks which atheistic “community” is a “moral” one, France and China are not only not good examples of moral perfection, but don’t get onto most people’s radar.
Please don’t put words in my mouth, tpanther. I was not offering those as examples of morally upright communities. (Though I wouldn’t lump France and China together, if we’re going to talk about moral uprightness.)
