Karen, it is intuitively obvious. To be devoid of conscience and virtue is one thing. To be non-religious is another. And for one hold the prejudice that a non-religious individual is devoid of conscience and virtue is still another. I do not believe that one who is non-religious is devoid of conscience and virtue. I do believe that many people are devoid of conscience and virtue, including many who call themselves religious. I also believe that many non-religious people have a finely-tuned sense of ethical and moral values which positively inform and influence both their conscience and virtue. I also believe that many religious people share the same influences. That is, both religious people and non-religious people have a set of finely-tuned ethical and moral values which positively inform and influence both their conscience and virtue. Intuitively, I cannot imagine it to be otherwise.
