Yes. Being an atheist or agnostic doesn't mean someone is an evildoer out to get everyone.

Perhaps ... but without God, "good" is no longer an objective thing; it requires human definition and is therefore a malleable thing. Morality becomes relative.

Excellent response and spot on. Like the abortion debate, Liberals think giving someone the freedom to murder is good, while they acknowledge begrudgingly that the underlying the supposed "Good" is something very black and evil. The definition of moral relativism and the slippery slope of relying on “Natural Law” as the atheists point to.

Yes, excellent response. No need for me to duplicate.
