Atheists of course. But I do know some Christians who really try to do what Jesus supposedly taught. I don't know if anyone I know is Jewish, no muslims that I know of.

What moral code do atheists follow, if any?

Thanks for answering a question Woodie, without accusing me of putting words in your mouth.

I wonder who is the best neighbour…satanists which have no moral limits, or Christians who sin once in awhile.

I don't know anyone who is a satanist. I don't have any friends who know anyone who is a satanist. They are such a small group they have no impact on anything. Plus if there are satanists, they're just as foolish as anyone else who believes in organized religion.

I really doubt they're pure evil, I'd say mostly they're a bunch of insecure morons.

A lot of military folks were neighbors when I moved here. They were all great.

Bunch of snowbirds too. Mostly good people.

Athiests, no question. The less people howling at the moon, performing rituals, and hating other people over fiction is always better.

That whole question is so fuddernutter moronic.

Gods are made up by man, and man instills their own morals and values into their gods. The idea that you need an invisible superdaddy to have a moral code is pure silliness.

Christians don't murder people 'cause God told them not to. But even if they do, they can still pray away their sins and get to heaven.

Atheists don't murder people 'cause murdering people is wrong. It's not really any more complicated than that.

In my experience people who believe in God have weaker morals. They think their belief in an invisible superperson alone gives them authority over others, and excuses their transgressions against others.
