> you simply cannot be moral that way.
Why not? Is there some kind of fundamental law of science that prevents a non religious person from behaving good?
It sounds like you think atheists are bad people for not believing. I was raised going to church every Sunday for years. By the time I was 13 /14 figured it was just lies to get ppl to behave a certain way. I just played along and pretended and it was all kinda cringe to me.
But I will tell you this. I don't hate Christians. Not at all. They're usually good folk even if their mysticism makes no logical sense.
You are not bad for not having faith. You are bad because you think your judgement and your morality supersede the others. Being atheist means you believe you are the ultimate arbiter of truth out there, and there's no higher being than your own body.
Most religious folks (except islam and judaism) behave in a good way because they believe in the judgement of God/Buddha/heaven/hell whatever in the afterlife, not because they are brainwashed by "mysticism".
"Do good deeds" is not limited to Christian. Ask yourself why people across different continents and religions share common belief that "do good deeds" is the way to salvation in the afterlife.
