Atheists: What moral grounds do you base your views on?

[Alceste]

Nah, I'll pass going to an Islamic country. They tend to try and kill people like me.

They tend to have a pretty dim view of people like me, too (IOW, women).

The increasing of disbelief in God has resulted chaos. I have my reasons for saying this.

Why you should afraid of death if you will only gone for a long sleep? So, atheist is not afraid of death. Then, lets have some fun. Do as you like. Even if you die on your journey, there's nothing to regret. If you're a killer, you'll be send on a long sleep as a punishment. If you're a gangster, you'll be extra of it because you have nothing to afraid of. You will only gone for a long sleep. After all of our doing, no matter how evil you're, you will only be sleep peacefully like other people do.

Why should we afraid of being annoying to others and to hurt others if we will only go for a long sleep after we died like many people do? Why should we follow the rule created by mankind if we can break it? We have nothing to lose. We can satisfy our wild nature and enjoy life "fully" by not losing anything.

This logic works just fine... for a person who places no value in the well-being of others.

IOW, you're effectively saying that a psychopath - because that's the technical term for the person you describe: someone who is concerned only for his own needs without regard to others - needs external rewards and punishments to be moral, or else he will behave anti-socially. Since many psychopaths do behave anti-socially, you very well may be right.

However, I don't think that the case of the psychopath is representative of the general population.

This statement is making a very broad generalization. In many Muslim countries, there are atheists who aren't killed or even threatened and are just fine.

What do you base this statement of yours on?

They tend to have a pretty dim view of people like me, too (IOW, women).

Also another stereotypical claim. It's like any other society, where you'll find people who disrespect women and treat them as mere sexual objects and others who will value them and treat them with utmost respect and recognition (the majority, actually).
