We might be wondering if moral good and evil could exist at all if God did not exist
Survival Ethic
If human morality is merely a result of the need to survive, nothing is good or evil in any objective sense. There is only a moral sense, a feeling that certain acts are good or evil, which is a far different thing from them actually being good or evil.
A universe without God in which we humans are nothing more than accidental byproducts of nature, beings who have evolved relatively recently in a hostile and irrational universe and who are destined to perish in a short time. Given that scenario, it is hard to see why it matters whether or not we ever existed.
Lastly:
The concept of objective morality loses all meaning in a universe devoid of God. Only in a universe created by a loving, moral God can there be real truth and morality.
