From article: In fact, to be a consistent atheist—and this is going to sound outrageous, but it's true—you can't believe that anyone has ever actually changed the world for the better. Objectively good political or moral reform is impossible if atheism is true. Which means you have to believe that everything Wilberforce, Lincoln and Martin Luther King did to abolish slavery and racism wasn't really good; it was just different.

I’ve posted this link many times here on FR, and I strongly recommend it for those that have yet to watch, and listen.

No Science, No Logic and No Morality: Atheism.

This is from an open air discussion between the vice-president of the Cornell Universities atheist society and Jeff Durbin of Apologia Christian Ministries.

The discussion occurred at the “Reason Rally” in Washington DC in 2012.

While the young atheist is misguided, IMHO, he is very intelligent and Jeff Durbin is fantastic.

The video runs about 13 minutes and it really addresses your original post.
