get serious - first off, it's a magic cape that makes you invisible, not a magic hat.
secondly, if I were invisible, I'd be in some girl's shower somewhere, not in a bank.

If I had a magic hat that makes me invisible, I'd find a lot better uses for it than hanging around in a bank vault.
But if I had a chance to steal cash, knowing that I wouldn't get caught, and that the cash was not an individual person's, but part of a giant corporation that earns billions of dollars in profit by charging high interest rates, and slamming 'small' customers with user fees, and that the only victim would actually be the insurance company.
I'd have to say that yeah, I probably would steal it. I would also use the money to help the poor, and if possible, to ensure that the bank loses a lot of the documentation on what mortgages and loans people hold - so they wouldn't have the ability to collect on those loans.
It wouldn't be right, but it would be satisfying.

If I had a magic hat that made me invisible, would I use it to rob banks, pick pockets, or slide quarters off dresser tops into my pocket?
Hmmm. I'll admit that it would be a temptation. But I'd still have to say no. That money didn't just grow on trees; it belongs to someone. I would not steal it.
As tempting as it would be, I think I would probably even manage to not use it to sneak backstage at some fashion show and watch the gorgeous models changing clothes. Knowing it was violating their right to privacy would take the pleasure out of that, too.
Resisting temptation wouldn't be the most important thing I'd be thinking about in that circumstance, though. I would be deep in thought trying to figure out to what moral and positive uses I could put the hat. "With great power comes great responsibility."

Good for you, but what about the single mother whose little girl needed open heart surgery but missed her window of opportunity while the bank was trying to figure out how her money suddenly disappeared from the vault? What about the loving husband who worked weekends for months to be able to afford for his wife to get help with her chronic depression? Or the 34-year-old who has an inoperable brain tumor and just wanted to take a cruise and see the wonders of Alaska before she passes? Tough for them, eh? Morality calls for us to weigh our own needs and wants against the needs and wants of others for the greater good of all.

No. But if I was invisible and in a girl's locker room, that's a totally different story.
Seriously, are you aware that atheists are severely under-represented in prisons. The majority of criminals seem to be Christians and Muslims. I don't think that's because atheists have hats that make them invisible.

It would be more tempting to steal from an impersonal bank, but I still don't think I would. I do not believe in stealing.
Wow, I have never seen the verb invisibled before.

No.
Although if I had a magical hat, I would be sorely tempted to go into churches with a Tazer and a megaphone. I'd demand they bow down before the power of Zeus and Taze the pastor.

Of course not! That would increase the suffering in the world. The money belongs to someone else, and I wouldn't want someone to do the same thing to me, if they had the invisibility hat.
Why would you assume such antipathy toward the law in atheists? By percentage of the greater population, Christians make up a larger component of the prison populations than do atheists.

Hado,
I think the other atheists did a really good job answering that and I can't improve on their answers.
I have a question for you. If you had a magic hat and for a minute god/allah couldn't see you - would YOU take the money?

Yes. I would steal from the bank itself (not its customers) and I would steal many, many thousands of pounds (I'm British). I would then take the money that the bank had made from doing NOTHING IN RETURN and dump it, invisibly, in a homeless shelter.
I don't like banks. They steal from people.

Actually I would not, Cause the guilt would follow me all life and I will become to feel really bad about it...
So I still say No I wouldn't steal the money
