Morality doesn't only come from religion, chanel. That's another common fallacy.
I realize that goldcatt but I am curious what book atheists refer to when teaching right from wrong. I am not being facetious. I know from experience just telling kids "don't do that" is not entirely effective. They must know "why" and sometimes "God" is more powerful than "because I said so". How is it taught? Formally or just happenstance?
BTW - all the atheists I know had some religion as a child and are good people. Coincidence?
Why would you teach basic morality to a child out of a book?
Same reason you would teach math or English or history out of a book: because books are where humans collect their repository of knowledge.
What the hell do you have against books?
