As a response to an earlier discussion of atheism and morality, one person wrote, writing, “Atheists have morals and act morally because morality isn’t related to existence of gods.” I think this raises a very interesting question: if atheism is true, what is morality related to? Granted, it wouldn’t be related to the existence of gods! But that’s a negative answer, a non-solution. A more interesting question is the positive version of the question, namely: if atheism is true, what would morality be related to? (Please notice how I define atheism).
