Beautiful Atheism
Soulless, they say
Without a moral compass
To guide my judgment
And make me ‘good’
But there’s beauty in my atheism
Purity in my logic
Kindness in my deeds
And peace in my heart
My actions are my longevity
Holding a hand through personal hell
Wiping a tear
Listening intently
Supporting those who so desperately need it
Fiercely falling in love
Offering unwavering loyalty
To those who deserve it
These things are remembered
These deeds are cherished
And it is through these actions
That lives are touched
And when it’s time to close my eyes for the final time
My body will return to the ground
My energy will transfer
And a little springtime shoot will grow

Great to know you are a good person.
I'm not sure that your atheism made you that way.
Not all atheists are good people - take me (or rather don't!) for example....🙂
Definitely not. We all have autonomy over our own actions regardless of what we choose to guide us.
I just struggle with the narrative that if you don’t have faith you don’t have morality. I don’t find the two to be mutually exclusive.
For what it's worth, I think you should operate on the basis of your first proposition.
The second? Don't struggle. Ignore it. Rubbish propositions everywhere. Too much energy and time lost when you give them consideration.
