No...I wouldn't say that....its just a basic observation based on the evidence we have been given. I don't think it takes morals to say that no higher power exists...more like common sense

How is it Moral Courage? I'd say it takes guts to say that to your family IF the family is Extremely Religious. But a sign of MORAL courage? How is that Moral to say that? Why would it be courageous to say something like that to total strangers?

I think its a sign of moral courage to say "I am an atheist" because it shows that you don't need to fear the writings in a book in order to behave like a decent human being. (I am assuming this is what you mean by someone saying they have no higher power).

Belief in a higher power has no real bearing on morality... (...unless said Higher Power threatens you with eternal torment after you die. Then you have to earn brownie points.)
There are plenty of people with theistic beliefs in this world who still do morally and ethically wrong things.

Hi
We only get our power to do hard things from God and not from just within ourselves so it is the truth that we don't have a higher power other than God and yes it does take courage to say that.

What do you mean do you mean you don't make your own decisions someone else does. Well if that is the case that is sad but I think you have your own power because at the end of the day your the only one who makes your decisions.

No, It is a sign that you have not been touched by love of the Higher Power. I pray that you and all seek His love

Such a person is usually right in their eyes,and think they dont need a higher power to look to.

Absolutely. You are inviting argument and disagreement, and that takes much courage.
