am assuming that some of the vocal contributors to this discussion are atheists or agnostics. So, I'd like to ask two simple questions. First, what is the basis of your moral code and ethical behavior? Second, what is your creed, that is, your moral code? I don't practice any religion and I am not sure whether there is a god or not. I am fascinated that most religions involve a god who is intensely interested in each and every person's sex life and very keen to punish perceived infractions in that realm. I try to do good because it is generally better for everyone including me when I do. I am not sure from where the assumption comes that having a religion or a god makes it more likely that one will be morally and behaviorally "good". I have yet to see any consistent or empirical evidence to support this assumption.
