My views on an article "Atheist also has a definite Moral
Code"
Morality should not be based on religion, but the
truth is presented in the first line of this article. When any person accepts
that s/he is non believer of God, people doubt his/her honesty and goodness. On
the other hand, all believers of religion can’t be considered as morally good.
All are humans and all cannot be perfect. Everyone has their nature and free
will to accept the things. If a person does not accept the rules and functions
of society, it doesn’t mean that the person is bad. We can also observe that
religion has developed the sense of immorality in followers by its business
qualities.
In this article there are some examples of atheists
like Buddha, Vardhman and Charvaka, today people worship all these as Gods. It
is all about misinterpretations of religion, society and so called “followers”,
which not allow a person to live with freedom. Atheist can be more perfect and
morally good than any other religious person because an atheist does not have
any kind of fear of God. Atheist is Nietzsche’s “Ubermensch” and a person who
takes the responsibility of his/her own actions. All have their own level of
morality. Religion cannot design and define a personality of any human being.
Religion is constructed and morality is within all human beings.
