can atheism work without God and what would that society be like?

[best.buys]

without a moral lawgiver [God] in a true atheistic society with all the evolutionary doctrine acceptable. if then everybody's view/point/understanding is then relative

would rape be legal?

killing off those who are a burden to society, the handicapped, blind, down syndrome be encouraged?

what about the elderly?

infanticide?

and would gays be worse off since they don't contribute to mans upward evolutionary struggle?

to who's standard would society look to?

since so many posters on here don't like God so much have you truly considered what would happen?

this one's for you bob or at least in reverse to your normal topics.

I feel like I am talking to Basil Faulty - don't mention the war. - don't mention God but its all the atheists can talk about is God.

the topic is clear in a world without God, what would it be like? how would you decide ethical questions? etc etc

yet all the posters want to talk about is God, talk about a hang up.

this is already a world without god, and there are laws that we live by that are not set by religious freaks.

i agree with MM, the threads nonsense

GO: "not my fault that atheists have not evolved enough to move on to a topic they can answer."

I must admit to being "stuck" in the evolutionary  process when faced with understanding  the logic of this question:

"Can Atheism Work without God"

As one argumentative Atheist I am frustrated here  because I have no concept of such thing as a god or tooth fairy, ghost, poltergeist,  UFO,  et al. and I "work".

evry one should be made to go and be in a church. people who go have real character and are a better clas of people. the older generations who went are generally more respectful and tend not to get as drunk. they eat proper food too, none of that overseas stuff.

and yet all the atheists seem to do is talk about God :^O :^O :^O

I think I was clear in my answer. 

I try to imagine living in a world IF the bible God exists. Stoning babies, adulterers, gays, people who work on Satday. 

I answered your ethical question.

You need to pay attention.

- I didn't know that?:|. I thought that evolution said that both man and apes evolved from a common ancestor who was not an ape - some sort of missing link.

YOu're right but our common ancestor looks somewhat like an ape so people loosely call them apes.

One country, two religions and three very telling pictures: The empty pews at churches just yards from an overcrowded mosque
Two photos show Sunday morning services in churches in East LondonThe third shows worshippers gathered for Friday midday prayers outside a nearby mosque 
The difference in numbers could hardly be more dramatic

Set aside the fact that our Queen is the Defender of the Christian Faith. Ignore the 26 Church of England bishops who sit in the House of Lords. 

Pay no attention to the 2011 Census that told us 33.2 million people in England and Wales describe themselves as Christians.

For if you want a more telling insight into religion in the United Kingdom today, just look at these photographs. The story they tell is more revealing than any survey.

no different to what it is now and man would make ethical and unethical decisions as they do now.

Actually TI, the  Queen is just the  Defender of the Faith, that is what is written upon my commissioning parchment.
