d) (Duh.) Never, of course. ... Are your "morals" *that* flimsy that you think otherwise? ... (How sad must that be...)
But the pure bigotry implicit in your query says a whole bunch!
“Morality does not depend on religion.” -- John Ruskin
“The death of dogma is the birth of morality.” -- Immanuel Kant

Christians are not the only people with moral values and you know it so stop talking nonsense.
And that question is a bit strange as the Christians have murdered more in the name of Christ that any other sect or group. Mind you the Muslims are trying to catch up

First I would like a definition of what a "non-believer"
Are you not a non-believer of Zeus?
Second I want you do define what murder is. Is the death penalty considered murder? Combat in war? Abortion? Even Christians have a different definitions of murder.
Lastly your pretty ignorant to believe that just because a person dose not have his morality dictated by a higher power that it dose not exist.

d. other.
Since becoming a rational person on the day I was born and being fortunate enough to not be abused by indoctrination in the meantime, I have often had murder on my mind because of the world around me. Just check out the news and see which religion is killing which. I think it's evolution at work.

What kind of a stupid question is that ? Non-believers are less apt to murder than church goers who think they can be forgiven for anything they do.
When a person makes a big thing about religion - - - don't turn your back to him .
People say that Atheists are far more intelligent, on average. Why do you find it necessary to prove it ?

Er, I think you meant to ask the believers this one.
Atheists believe that murder is wrong. It's the believers whose "morality" apparently rests on believing Sunday School tales.

I think Christianity is a good & possitive force BUT the desire to be good is innate in mankind. There are good and evil people among both the Christians AND non-christians.
The fact that Christianity helps a person be good does not mean people can't be good without Christianity.

why murder is permissible if one stops believing???
i think you should explain your logics before being absurd or just say you are completely ignorant and then non believer will answer accordingly

Are you saying you do not murder only b/c God tells you not to?
So if if God tells you to murder somebody, you will go and do it?
I am not spending an eternity in same heaven as you.
