Those that don't accept a God, may try all forms of relativism but they still must come back to the respect of the individual.

But that's just the problem. They don't have to come back to the respect of the individual. Quite often both the oppressors and the oppressed simply accept their situation as being the natural order of things. Whole empires have been built on that basis.

(Religious people certainly are as prone to such impulses as non-religious ones -- we simply have a reason not to do something, even if we ultimately end up breaking the rules.)

Ultimately I see this as a matter for Evangelism, and treat it as such.

Would you please explain that to me? You can send me a private note if you wish.
