RE: Or don’t atheists have consciences?

If we believe the Bible, then we have to believe that EVERYONE has a conscience. However, the conscience has to be INFORMED correctly.

The Bible tells us that the unrighteous suppress the true knowledge of God (Rom. 1.18; Ps. 14.1). If you keep telling yourself a lie, you may come to believe it. But it’s still a lie.

Fair enough, but is the Bible the only valid source of information? Can't peoples' consciences be equally informed by reason and experience?

My problem is the author slides from listing atheist arguments to equating religion and morality.

I think non-believers have moral codes as well.
