Do athiests believe that murder is neither good nor bad? From what I understand, the idea of murder being bad comes from religious belief. The idea that humans have a soul, or that only god can determine when someone lives or dies, all stem from religion. Animals do not believe in god, and they show indifference to murder within their own species. Therefore, if religion didn't exist, the idea of murder being evil would not have been created.
So if an atheist thinks murder is evil or bad, aren't they indirectly believing in a higher power?
I like to hear from some atheists on this matter! Let's discuss!
On a second note, (maybe for another question) aren't most laws of man derived from religion? Wouldn't atheists be against most of those?
