Morality is determined by social consensus. Religious morality is just social morality with bullshit tacked on. Being good because youll get a reward from god is not altruism, its an investment. Morality predates religion - it predates Homo sapiens. Messy liberalism, which needs constant reexamination and revision has produced the best societies seen on this earth. As the boundary of physics rolls forward, the boundary of metaphysics retreats. Imagine a prominent atheist like Richard Dawkins came out against religious marriage. Think how extremist hed be accused of being. Imagine we campaigned to exclude christians/muslims from certain hotels, or tried to deny them certain jobs. And yet the apparently ultra-moderate Pope does exactly the equivalent to gay people. Imtiaz Mahmood https://facebook/imtiaz.mahmood.96 ~Shaz
