Answer 2

I'm an Atheist: More accurately I'm a secular Humanist. Morality isn't in just the hands of religion. Based on my Humanistic beliefs, morality is one's actions and decisions based on compassion, freedom with responsibility and an eye on the future.

Compassion is to be used when we deal with others who have a view different from our own, when we have a desire to judge others, or when we want retribution.

Freedom with responsibility looks at allowing all people to have freedom that is only limited by the freedom of others. People should have the right to do what they wish so long as it doesn’t infringe on the rights of others.

We must keep an eye on the while keeping in mind the first two concepts. Humanism holds the belief that humans have the capacity to fix the damage we've done in this world (this deals with not only environmental damage but societal damage). Through the filters of compassion and individual freedoms, we have to do what we can to make the world a better place for future generations.

You should also treat others as they would have you treat them. Note, it's not as you would have them do unto you, but how they would have you do unto them. This is a reflection of living with compassion and seeing the world from the viewpoint of others. The Golden Rule as more traditionally stated assumes that everyone has the same desires, perspectives and attitudes.

In a nutshell, this is how I view morality, though I know I cannot speak for all Atheists, it’s how I see things.

Answer 3

My definition of morality has absolutely nothing to do with any religion. Its simply, don't do anything that may hurt people, and don't do things you wouldn't want people to do to you. And that kind of morality has been around since the dawn of mankind.

Answer 4

Don't do anything to someone else that you would not want done to you in the same circumstances.

I'm an atheistic student of Buddhist practice. However, there is no ownership of such a spiritual path over such an ethical stance. That is simply a humanistic guideline for making ethical decisions.

There is no externally imposed morality. The above reading of the golden rule simply helps us function better as a society.

Answer 5

Be kind, Be Honest, Be Helpfull, Be Trustworthy, Be Nice to Everyone Regardless of race, creed, attitude, or religions, Be a smart and rational person,

Respect all humans, animals, and Nature, Take care of the Earth, Admire your Elders, Care for those in need, Provide for those who need it.

Practice only good, white magic, and never harm a soul, even your enemies deserve kindness and understanding. Never do spells that hurt or injure, and always keep love in your heart.

Answer 6

Morality is a set of judgments.

It does not exist outside of the mind that thinks that it knows what morality is.

:
Love and blessings don

Answer 7

In Buddhism morality is the prime directive and basically it is

Answer 8

Morality is the result of being created by a Holy God. We are created in His image so we act morally.

Answer 9

The Golden Rule (or Golden Mean or whatever you call it in your version of religion).

"Treat others as you would like to be treated."

Of course, this goes in life, business and all else. This also includes how I would like them to treat me, giving me my rights to privacy, respect, etc., as I give to them. However, this is not a perfect world. : ) Yet.

Answer 10

Based on the religion that I was born into, Sex before marriage is sin next to murder. And Adultery is a sin next to murder.

Denying the Holy ghost is the greatest sin, then murder is next in line. Then after that, sexual immorality is sin next down in the line.
