“It’s a common question, including among fellow atheists, whether disbelievers even have a moral compass.”
Hmm, is it? Maybe in the US, it’s not a question that troubles most people here, but then secularism and atheism has been increasing among the UK population for decades.
" A 2019 Pew Research Center poll found that 44% of Americans (compared with 26% of Canadians) think that a belief in God is needed to be moral."
Well there you go, I should have read the next paragraph.
" A 2011 study in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology even found “that the distrust of atheists was comparable to the distrust of rapists,” he said.
Oh dear…
Some of the wording troubles me as well, which is hardly surprising since it’s depicting two distinct groups that are not homogenous groups.
Did they test the moral compass of people who found the Bermuda triangle myths dubious?
