Morality without faith.

It makes complete sense that people who don't believe in a personal god want to live good lives, moral lives, and long lives. This is the only life we have. Hoping for a life after death is, at best, wishful thinking. The hardest part about dying is not that the party ends, it's that the party is going to go on without you. People who don't believe in an afterlife, a personal god, and ancient humans with superpowers, have every reason to make the most out of this life. Morality is innate, being good for goodness' sake is enough. We don't need values from countless centuries ago imposed on our modern society as if they were universal truths. 

The most immoral things I have ever come across come from religious texts and from people who believe them to be true. Enough. The people who believe these books to be the epitome of moral guidance have not, in fact, read the books. Just as the people who don't believe in evolution are usually those who know nothing about evolution. READ the books, line by line, and tell me they are moral. Then tell me why you ignore almost all of it and cling to one or two passages that make sense to you in a modern context. Then tell me why you believe in the teachings of people who claimed these immoral books were divinely inspired when they are clearly not. 

If a mathematics teacher tells me their book contains the best mathematical theories ever conceived, and I find upon reading the books that they are full of penis doodles, I am going to call the book a piece of shit and the teacher an obvious fraud. 1st century and 7th century morality are no longer viable modes of living. The least informed of our children knows far more about how the world works than any of the authors of our religious texts. This is a problem, and one that can not, and must not, be ignored.
