How about Non-Faith - is that OK?

[Taverner]

I am moved by empathy, not by God's writ

1. Whatever makes you a better person.

2. Several years ago, I had an argument with a fundamentalist

Who insisted that no atheist could possibly have a true moral sense, since all morals were given by God. I kept trying to show him that it was possible to develop a sound, consistent system of ethics which did not reference God. I started with Aristotle, and continued with Jeremy Bentham and so on. He refused to accept it.

3. That's fine

As long as you find other people's faith okay, too.

BTW, most of us Christians are motivated by empathy, too.

4. As are most of us pagans.

Suggest you read the SOP for the group; that should answer your question.

7. Whatever makes you a better person. Science makes me a better person.

5. Interesting question. There are a growing number of Interfaith groups

and projects. Some of them include non-believers and some do not.

It seems to depend on what their objectives are.

If they are clearly religious, then tend to include just religious groups. If more secular, they tend to include others.

6. I am not anti-theist. I call BS where BS is, but I am not anti-theist

And I think the social justice messages are better than anything we atheists have come up with

[cbayer]

8. Well, that's good, because an anti-theist would be most unwelcome in this group.

I think liberals and progressives in general share the same values when it comes to social justice. It would make no sense whatsoever for us to exclude either believers or non-believers.

Those that attack theists or atheists are divisive and do nothing to further their shared agendas.

9. Like I said empathy is my religion nt
