About half of Americans (53%) say it is not necessary to believe in God to be moral, while 45% say belief in God is necessary to have good values, according to a 2014 survey. In other wealthy countries, smaller shares tend to say that a belief in God is essential for good morals, including just 15% in France. But in many other parts of the world, nearly everyone says that a person must believe in God to be moral, including 99% in Indonesia and Ghana and 98% in Pakistan. - - - Google
For my part, as the Father of Atheism in the Philippines, I asked: how could belief in God be necessary to live the good life with good morals and good values when God Himself revealed in the bible that: "I FORM THE LIGHT AND CREATE DARKNESS: I MAKE PEACE AND CREATE EVIL: I THE LORD DO THESE THINGS." Isaiah 45:7
And here are more examples of good and moral values as revealed by the Son of God Jesus in the holy bible: "IF ANY MAN COME TO ME AND HATE NOT HIS FATHER AND MOTHER, WIFE AND CHILDREN, BROTHERS AND SISTERS, AND YEA, HIS OWN LIFE ALSO, HE CANNOT BE MY DISCIPLE." Luke 14:26
Is it possible for man to live a moral and peaceful and meaningful life without religion? As a matter of historical fact, the human race has always been in trouble and in conflict with or against each other due to, if not because of conflicting beliefs in sick RELIGIONS. - - - Poch Suzara
