Atheists, agnostics and humanists in some cities in the United State and Great Britain are putting up large billboards on streets, buses and subways that say “We Can Be Good Without God.” According to these non-believers, morality doesn’t need a supernatural Law Giver.



The question is, does being good require a moral Law Giver? Atheists and agnostics say that goodness doesn’t require God because morality is already embedded in our genes; morality is a by-product of evolution. This is the reason why our species survived in the first place. We can’t live in a society (being a social animal) if we don’t have a high ethical standard in our system.



But believers, especially Christians disagree. They say that those who don’t believe in a God who has defined for man what is right from wrong make morality an illusion. Without a belief in God, morality then becomes a subjective concept rather than one that is absolute.



What do you think?
