"We can take what is, extract and endorse the sins against man, ignore the sins against God and other solely religious aspects, and blend in nicely with the rest of you.

That is quite naive karen. Extract from what? From a theistic source? Then you are merely recognizing that the source is valid but regarding the religious aspects with skepticism. That is not atheism. That is Neocon's brand of theism ... leaning toward 'clueless agnostisism'.

Atheism is a definite position and I have yet to see an atheist who claims to have extracted their view from theism. If so, I revert to my earlier statement about dancing in the pale moon light.

Surely you have observed that the non-religious among us here have pretty much the same sense of ethics as those who claim religious roots.

Well, no.
