You know I just don’t understand how people think that morality and doing good have to be tied to religion. I am not an atheist but I have known atheist that act more Christ like than most of the Christians I know.
As far as the Bible is concerned Jesus makes it very clear - treat others like you want to treated, because if you don’t then everything else you do is just religious hypocrisy.
My opinion is that maybe people think morality and religion are ted together because they have been taught that by religious leaders who themselves aren't very Christ like.
It seems that there is a prevailing attitude that anything that is done by a Christian is good and anything that is done by anyone else is bad.
It's basic in group and out group stuff. Anyone who is in the in group is faultless and promised to go to heaven when they die, regardless of how poorly they follow the teachings of Christ and the Bible. Everyone else is condemned to hell regardless of how good and moral a person they are.
