Does Atheism Lead to Immoral Behavior?

I'd suppose this depends on what you view as moral behavior but I thought I'd ask the question to see what people would say.

It is easy to justify one's personal morals but I'd like you to consider the world at large. Is the world becoming more moral or less moral?

And, does this have anything to do with the decline of religious belief?

Religiinism certainly leads directly to and or excuses
some of the worst behaviour imaginable, in many cases.

Observing that may contribute to a dubious attitude
toward religionism and it's practitioners.

No. And I'd pit my personal morality against that of the vast majority of religious folks i know.

Morality is a human (and some animals trait). Without it it humanity would be unable to live in social groups. Civilization could not have begin which in turn developed religion which in turn stole morality for itself, bastardised it and used it against non believers.

Being human leads to immoral behaviour.

all you need to do is look at expressly atheist societies and see how degenerate they are. nominally religious societies are also degenerate but that is not because of religion but despite it.

there is no such thing as an atheist, whatever is your priority in life, who are whatever you think is the most powerful entity on earth, whatever you get up in the morning for is your "god", even if it is not much of a god and you have nothing in particular to live for.

How about you take a look and then point out a particular society and then point out what's specifically degenerate.

people undergoing body modification surgeries and then committing suicide is degenerate. canadian medical assistance in suicide (MAID. maids clean up places) is totally insanely degenerate.


In most jurisdictions in the world with legalized euthanasia, doctors are explicitly prohibited, or strongly discouraged from raising assisted dying with a patient.


Canadian doctors encouraged to bring up medically assisted death before their patients do
A guidance document produced by Canada’s providers of medically assisted death states that doctors have a professional obligation to bring up MAID

Yeah, the developed nations other than us are so degenerate. Um...
What should atheists call themselves then?

Ever since I've been an atheist I've enjoyed pillaging and raping, I eat babies for breakfast and am off to rob a bank shortly
I would rape too if only I could.
Instead I rage against fate that left
me unequipped for that for which I
daily Lust.

Atheism is much like religion in that
neither prevent immoral behavior.
They're just things believed or not.

What, if anything, encourages/discourages immoral behavior?
Other than punishment, since some feel there ought to be something other than punishment that drives our moral behavior.
