So basically what you’re saying is that there is no morality without god?

BTW: I’m an atheist and I consider myself very moral. I could even tell you where my morals come from and why I believe in them but they have nothing to do with a god.

There is no freedom without God. . .this is a fundamental "self-evident truth" of our founding. Jefferson referred to our freedom as a "gift from God."There is no enduring moral system that denies the existence of God or the idea of humanity's spiritual nature.

British anthropologist J.D. Unwin studied 86 major civilizations over an expanse of 5000 years history. . .only those that embraced premarital abstinence and fidelity within monogamous marriage were able to establish an enduring, expansive culture. There has been no known moral system other than religion that asserts a moral justification for the postponing of sexual gratification.
