Many in my generation are not very religious including myself(I'm mid 20's)-lot of atheism/agnostics...we all believe you can be moral without God. I have never run across people my age who don't believe in morality..most think the countries morals suck including myself.
morals of any kind in a supposed atheistic world view, make no sense.....folks that claim some sort of morals need to explain why they borrow that idea that is inherently NOT atheistic, but points to a higher authority....

Try C.S. Lewis’ “Mere Christianity.” In the first part of the book, Lewis reasons from the moral code, known by all people, to the divine Source of this Law. It’s very readable.
I don’t think the point is whether you can be moral without God, at least relatively moral anyway. The point is where do morals originate. The Bible says that the Law (10 commandments) was written on our hearts so we have no excuse. See Romans 2:14-15. Take God out of the equation and I suppose morals developed by (non existent) macroevolution or perhaps the Big Bang caused them and they floated around space waiting for a worthy host and man finally fit the bill?
I agree that many of the current generation believe they can be moral without God, but I’m curious. How do you define what moral is?
