@Simon Payton. No we have not spent six months arguing that there is Atheist morality. We argued that atheists have morality because it’s a human evolutionary trait, not an Atheist trait. Morality is an evolutionary product. Diverse religions attribute their morality to their religious texts in error. Many of them twist their own texts to declare a morality that is falsely based on their own prejudices. An atheist doesn’t have “books of regulatory madness” to twist so if they have twisted morality, they at least have to own it.
It’s sad that six months of debate over morality appears to have left you with the impression that the argument was an effort to declare a morality attributable purely to atheism.
I’m lost on why you think morality has any mysticism attached to it.
