Neither Bush nor Atty. General Ashcroft have mentioned nonbelievers since 9-11, meaning they are trying to write atheists out of America’s moral community

In order to be a part of a moral community, you have to have morals to start out. Atheists are people that lack faith and without faith, you cannot have morality.

Why can you not have morality without faith? What if you realize living morally makes you happy? Or is morality only a way to get into heaven?
