no i have my own sets of moral standards lol, what i really meant, (which i really did not make clear) is that being an atheist, we should not share a moral code, but we should have our own. therefore not being turned into another religion. as such :/

but rules that we really do have to follow are the ones set by the government, otherwise we get in trouble.

just to make it clear, and thanks for writting me back! i didn't expect you to! xx

Ah, I see what you mean. But my opinion is that moral, thinking individuals who strive to come up with their own moral code will end up having many values in common -- whether or not they are atheists.
