7. Since you referred me up here, I'll respond here:
You continue to insist that you don't believe religion to be morally superior, yet every time you say so, you merely clarify that you don't believe that any specific religion is better.

You've said that you don't want a society which didn't base its morality on religion and that you don't want a society where a single religion dictates those morals. Those two ideas are not mutually exclusive in the least. The second merely clarifies that when you say "no one wants to live in a society" where morality isn't based on religion, you don't mean any specific religion.

The message of "religion is inherently morally superior" remains. Do you believe that a society where no one based their morality on solid religious faith is one in which you could live? Why or why not?
