Yet another study reveals that atheism does not result in immorality:
Why do the 44% continue to think that one must be a theist to be moral when the data reveals that isn't true?Atheism, Morality, and Society
Is God necessary for goodness?
According to a recent study conducted by the Pew Research Center, only 44 percent of Americans say that it is necessary to believe in God in order to “be moral and have good values.” Or put differently, a majority of Americans—around 56 percent—think that you can be moral and have good values, even if you are an atheist.
They are absolutely correct.
The evidence is clear that atheism does not result in immorality. If anything, secularity is strongly correlated with sound ethical living.
Despite the horrible, murderous crimes of various infamous atheist dictators—such as Cambodia's Pol Pot or the USSR's Stalin, who criminally forced their atheism on captive populations and sought to destroy religion—in societies where atheism isn't coerced, but emerges naturally in free, democratic contexts, the result is usually not inhumanity, crime, and chaos, but well-being, safety, and sound moral life.
