Sure it does. If a belief system has undesirable or unappealing end-results or implications, that changes how people view it.


That would be the fault of the belief system or enlightened/disillusioned person. Morality still stands on its own as a separate topic.


I'm not saying atheists don't have morals and I'm not saying theists do. I'm interested in the justification for those morals.


Some can be justified logically. If a man sleeps with his friend's wife, that friend could find out and become an enemy. The adulterer then has less support in life. What does that have to do with God or a supreme authority?

Others are visceral. It's a form of opinion.
