Are atheists generally "moral" people?

Answer 1

As soon as I can find the source of this info I'll resubmit it here. Christians are more likely to go to prison than Atheist. As a matter of fact Atheist are less likely to be in prison than any religion. So they are very moral people.

Answer 2

I consider myself very moral .
But not because im an Atheist ,but because of the way I was raised by my loving and moral parents .
They both were religiouspeople .

Answer 3

That depends on the Atheists. It also can be asked of every religion. No one is spared from the problem of hypocrisy. However anyone can be moral if they choose to be it does not have to be reserved for people who are a particular faith.

Answer 4

depends entirely on the person. Some athiests are exceptionally moral. Others, like those above who insist upon using the term "holy rollers" to the shigrin of every Christian out there, display considerable less morality and thoughtfulness :-).

Answer 5

Yes, Atheists have the lowest divorse rates, the lowest imprisonment rates in the entire country, and I once heard we have the highest community service (not sure though). I don't see what other tools to use as measurement of morality for this type of question.

Answer 6

I have found them to be extremely moral. Many times I have noticed they seem more "moral" than many so-called Christians I have met.

Answer 7

Yes, often more moral than some religious people, and I'm not an atheist.

Answer 8

Atheists are generally ethical people. The concept of morality is a religious one.

And most genuine evil people are actively opposed to God. They hate God. Evil is incapable of atheism.

Answer 9

Yes, and moral for a better reason. Because it's the right thing to do, not because some old book said so.

Answer 10

I've never seen any evidence that atheists are any more or less moral than theists.

of course, atheists don't ever tend to claim to be more moral than theists... though the reverse of course cannot be said
