Can atheist even make moral judgements? ' The Morality delusion' of Skeptics


Since atheists don't believe in a absolute or objective moral values , it is big fun to see them make moral judgements on everybody religious calling them evil , immoral etc.

If the atheist is making his moral judgements based on relative societal moral values of the present time , then he cannot impose his morality on others in a different age and epoch of history , complaining that they or their God is evil.

If the atheist is making his moral judgements not based on absolute moral values then his judgement and the subsequent pronouncements are just relative and do not have any moral weightage as in a Godless universe like theirs any moral value or no moral value would be the same and of no value.

Atheist's  feeling or expressing moral indignation at religion or God  is nothing except  them being just subjective feelings and nothing more. Their morality is just a feeling or at best a construct of present day societal rules and regulations. Their morality is not grounded and thus cannot be used as a standard to judge others. Their morality therefore is no morality at all and their moral indignation is a delusion.

If atheists think religious people have a 'God delusion' , then they who do not have God have a 'morality delusion' and thus should refrain from making moral judgements on God ,religion and religious people.

As Fyodor Dostoevsky said , "If there is no God , everything is permissible".  If there is no moral law giver , there is no moral law and thus no absolute or objective right or wrong. Thus since there is no absolute right or wrong , everything is permissible in the atheistic worldview. Since everything is permissible in the atheistic worldview , they cannot make moral judgements on God , religion or other people . Their ungrounded morality is just a delusion , a fragment of their own imagination and is not binding on others.
