   There is no evidence that humanity did not have the concept of good and evil before religions were invented.

   There’s plenty of evidence that religions are a scourge and are directly responsible for much of the strife on earth.

   Humans have to fight for survival, just like nonhumans, but we are additionally burdened by religious strife whether we are atheists or not.

     "Moral non-objectivism only applies to inanimate objects."

     Most people, when presented with moral non-objectivism for the first time, show this level of ignorance, and then double down on moral realism and assert that something is good or evil.

     Even as atheism gains some traction, the binary belief in good and evil will probably never fade for as long as any of us live. This is religion's biggest "gift" to humanity.

     Elledeeay repeated this.
