I'm a Christian, and I'm just wondering if Athiests have any morals, and if they do, where do they originate from? I ask this because every time I meet one of these people they are either extremely kind and forgiving or they are just a real pain in the neck. As far as I know Athiests don't believe in/follow any sort of god or prophecy.

P.S. This is just a neutral question, I respect everybody's beliefs, and I don't intend to get anybody mad just my asking such a question.

Well, to ask in a simplified form, what to they follow that makes them want to be nice people? Christians have a Bible to follow while Athiests seem to have nothing at all.

but where do they get these morals? how do they know if their morals, the lines they never cross are still good, how can you tell if your even a good person without God? what you open the door and your a good person? if so even demons are good people if thats the case.

@captc, I can't seem to understand you, sorry.
@RotomWash, Please explain in higher detail. I am genuinely curious.
@DinklestheAlmighty, I don't know what you mean, but it comes across as a slightly rude remark. Please keep things like that to yourself.

morality is an evolved mechanism

doing good things feels good, doing bad things feels bad. people who don't feel empathy at all are called sociopaths.

It's called common sense. The the ability to perceive and rationalize intrinsic vales shared commonly by all on practical matters. There is a natural order for everything; religious or not.

Atheism is the following of logic combined with the following of your own set morals.

Most atheists were religious at some point but stopped believing, such as myself. So it's partly from religious teachings, but also partly from experience and partly from your conscience.

I'm an agnostic, but this follows a similar experience so I will explain.

I grew up Christian, and I do take some moral standards from that still to heart. Some I believe are perfectly reasonable ideas.

But the origin of morals often stems from the basis of why we live in the first place. What is out goal? To proliferate and improve our way of life. What's the most reasonable way of doing this? Being helpful and not hurting each other.

It's just logic as a result of the way we think.

You know you're username means the same, too?

Nahhh, you won't even bother to look that up because I'm just trying to trick you into searching it and actually proving the point.
