Atheist Chaplin Believes You Don’t Need God to be Caring, Loving People.
This is SO wrong. Stop! Stop it! We’re not a congregation, we’re not another church! We atheists are a diverse group of people, our only common denominator is our lack of belief in any god.
Of course we don’t need a god to be good. In fact, we are good people (or rather most of us are) because it is the right thing to do, because it feels good to be good, because it is best for our societies.
Get a grip, people! This is the kind of thing that makes the gullible and delusional people think that atheism is a religion.
Also, we’re not here to change other people’s minds or their belief system against their will.
The best way to teach is by example.
Be the kind of person you would admire, make a difference by being the best you can be, and go live your life.
