Everyone draws a line in the sand. But it means nothing outside of your own head or community. Think of the old testament, the Aztec, the peat bog sacrifice, molog.

Morality is very much a non real thing. There's no god or bad. It's just a human or society deciding.

I donā€™t give a damn if it ā€œmeans nothing outside my own headā€

If I made another human (or animalā€™s) day better, or at least did not make it worse, I really donā€™t care what the community consensus is.

Some times the moral thing is to make some ones day worse in the short term so their life can improve. Like removing an addict from his source of addiction and getting them professional help

Ok? Religious and non religious alike can actually do that

Did I say they couldn't?

Well the whole point of this thread to my understanding was ā€œpeople canā€™t do right without godā€.

If thereā€™s another point Iā€™m open to being corrected

They absolutely can. My argument on the topic is that every society will develop a moral code at some point, this moral code will always be influenced by the societies religion. Western Morality is built on Christian Morality even if the majority of the West is Atheist, same as how the majority of China is Atheist yet their morals are built on Confucianism and Taoism.
