An overview of studies which investigate correlations between morality and religious vs. secular / atheist ideologies presented by Phil Zuckerman who is a professor of sociology and secular studies at the Claremont colleges in California, USA.

Summary: Atheists / secular people not only have morals but are even more moral than religious people.

Note: Of course moral is a matter of perspective. In this context we agree that compassion and empathy are our foundations of moral.

    I have a friend who recently got caught cheating in school. At about 40, I’m headed back as well. The other day I mentioned that I needed to take a math placement test (I haven’t taken any math classes in about 2 decades). She said that I should have my husband take them for me.

    1. No, I want to learn, and not struggle which I would if I was placed in a higher level math than I am currently capable of understanding
    2. It’s obviously the wrong thing to do

    Guess what she originally majored in…

    Christian Theology
