Atheist parents comfort children about death without talk of God or heaven

19. Simple Answer

For me anyway. I base my morality on what I feel is acceptable and proper. After all, I am the only one that I ever have to answer to. I certainly do not need to pay someone to tell me what it is that I should do, should think, or should act like. We atheists do not belong to any cults that set down strict rules for outward appearances and proper behaviors. I am true to myself at the exclusion of all others. This probably sets my values much higher than those who need instructions.

By the way, I do take your question as a sarcastic insult. If you are serious about such things, then I suggest that you sit down and have a face-to-face discussion with an atheist. Don't be afraid. Don't be scared. If you keep an open mind, you surely will learn a great deal.
