Answer to the first one...no it is not religion it is the whacking of the wooden side of the hairbrush against my rear when I lied or stole, and that sad episode of The Andy Griffith Show where Opie kills a bird that tells me killing ain't right. There are many atheists and persons who have no belief in God or any Divine Being who feel murder, theft and lies are bad....so religion is not the only thing to bring about those beliefs.

If the world had no religion it would be different...not necessarily better or worse.

1)a. No; Religion may provide an excuse, but is not the cause

1)b. Yes; or one should.

2) Many believe so.

What are the spiritual or religious beliefs an atheist has?

1. I believe there are certain rights and wrongs that though they can be traced back to religion, they would still be right or wrong IMO without religion.

2. It's not that religion needs to be done away with. It's just the message has been distorted.

Fifth post in the 'Logical proofs of atheism' thread.

I did in the other thread. As I just said.

Sorry CrazyDiamond. I read your post wrong.
