You posted post 76 in defense of atheism and I responded to you, try to lay off the little act and song and dance routine.

I’ve heard atheist here on FR say that they can do good, without believing in God.
I don’t see why not.

The question isn’t about a mild mannered-individual growing up in a culture shaped by religion. Can an atheist society thrive for generations, has it ever?

If America was suddenly sprayed with a chemical that removed all belief in God, and made everyone 100% purely free of any concept of God and a soul and an after life, and removed all residue and traces of any connection with that past, I don’t think that the result would be positive.

What would you like to hear? I have no idea if there has been a purely atheist society, so how could I know if one can survive for generations?

Tell me of one and I will google and tell you how long it lasted.

Ok, after all that stuff happens, you don’t think it would be positive.
