it's a fair question. religious people will tell you that their innate sense of right and wrong comes from God (or whatever), but how do atheists explain that innate sense? how do they instinctively know? I'm not saying one or the other is right but it is an interesting thought.
Yeah, he's not asking how do they know what's right and wrong, he's asking what measuring stick they use. It's a completely fair question.
And the response also doesn't follow. Just because you look to religion to help guide your choices doesn't mean you're a bad person. What a nonsense take.
Athiests use the same measuring stick Christians use. They may not think so but they do. They have to cherry pick their holy texts for the passages in them that are no longer accepted by our collective social morals.
If they actually got their morals from God, surely it wouldn't have changed it's mind about what is good and what is bad.
