it could be strongly argued that far from theists having a moral code higher than an atheist, the reverse is true. If I helped save a baby from a burning building inhaling thick black smoke and putting my own life in danger, I would do so as a natural reaction to save a fellow human being, as apposed to selfishly trying to earn my angel wings to save my soul from suffering eternal damnation in the pits of hell.The idea of the ‘good Christian’, or the ‘Christian thing to do’ soon disappears when it comes to their views on other religions with opposing versions of ‘truth’, or their intolerable views on homosexuality.
Despite the “love thy neighbour” facade, this only applies in the literal sense (as the ‘neighbour’ pertains to -if you are one of us).There is no room for moderation , if you are a gay Christian or Muslim- you are not one at all.
