"At this season of the winter solstice, may reason prevail. There are no gods, no devils, no angels, no heaven or hell. There is only our natural world. Religion is but myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds."Notice the claim that "Religion is but myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds." (emphasis mine)
This is language that is, by design, negative.
Question. By what standard does the atheist claim that hardening hearts and enslaving minds is bad? The atheist is making a claim that a moral standard exists. But it is a standard that does not just apply to themselves. If so, they would need no display attacking another person's worldview.
No, these atheists believe this moral standard applies to everyone. It is transcendent. But transcendent rules of right and wrong, by definition, only come from a transcendent being.
Otherwise, it is simply the atheists personal moral rule that he is trying to impose upon others, in this case, those who are religious.
Then my question is: Who died and made the atheist God?
