Added An Atheist Morality without God (2025; Off Site) by John W. Loftus to John W. Loftus’ author page on the Secular Web.
This essay is a response to James Sterba’s “An Ethics without God that is Compatible with Darwinian Evolution” and thoroughly provides a secular morality in that it argues that the most reasonable ethics are secular systems that don’t require a God, gods, or goddesses. Loftus further goes on to defend an atheist morality by appealing to polls that show that there is a common neighborly morality that matters to most people based in facts about who we are as a species, which includes facts about the prehistoric world. Finally, Loftus argues that ‘Sterbaian ethics’ succeeds in that it is useful for human flourishing.
