Atheism doesn't mean hedonism. Intelligence and experience will create more charity and humanity than religion in a truer sense because it doesn't judge. Don't assume we all become selfish boors because we don't subscribe to a "God". The arguments of "godliness in morality" are simplistic and avoid the issue. Most of the posters seem to distance themselves from scripture as "religion". So, you make up what feels right for you? Why not let the proven properties of science help answer your questions instead of your need for an easy story to give you comfort. Sometimes it is more important to understand what we don't know...
