One of the things I have been examining as I have tried to steer this conversation. Is how morality, in our society is intertwined with religion. I was hoping to hear of Atheist moral philosophy not connected to religion and I have. But I get the feeling that many of the self described "Atheists" have not thought it through to that level. It seem many have rejected the Church but retain its morality. I wonder if they are aware of that. Alas, I cannot think of polite follow-up questions.

Many have implied that morality is instinctual. I find that unlikely because we know so little when we are born that I believe that such behavior is learned. Alas, I haven't thought of a polite way to follow up with these people to see what they know that I don't about this assertion.

Since, as I said before, I think I have got as good answers as I am going to get. If the discussion is not advancing and evolving. I would not be unhappy to see it end. If it continues to be people reading the first post or maybe just the title and only reacting to that, it ceases to be of interest to me.
