>once you remove man from the equasion
Your statement is self-defeating though, because any kind of moral system is irrelevant without conscious actors, and exists only through one's conception of it. This doesn't counter anything I've said, since humans do in fact exist and have the ability to conceive of (e.g. bring into existence) moral systems.
How can an atheist be moral without a God?

I agree 100% and I would go further and state that highly intelligent people understand that there are many gods, and that it is pointless to argue about which one is correct.

psychologize me harder, daddy uwu
I spent a huge amount of time studying theology and science in order to come to the conclusion we don't really have any definitive empirical evidence of a god. I can understand why people believe religions, and I respect the decisions they make for improving their life, but I don't think any of their positions are justifiable simply from their claim of a god.
I can make a similar claim, watch: Because lower IQ people are less likely to be analytical when presented with statements, it is significantly easier for a lower IQ person to be converted to christianity.

The idea of God has changed over years and is misrepresented by this ridiculous idea of personal God,
Living with god just ment living in a way that creates least amount of suffering for you and others. Starying from god meant for example not preparing for winter which would result in hell - suffering and death from hunger and cold. Organised religions were just repositories of rules and behaviours for people to follow without wasting time on researching what's right and what's wrong to do. Because it's not obvious and self proving what's right and what's wrong. We still are talking about it too this day, for example abortion, some say is good some bad. Repositories are subjected to revisions and when our understanding changes then should our religions also change, this happens to a degree in Christianity, that's why we don't stone or neighbors who work on Sunday anymore. But religion is a force that manipulates people behaviours so obviously it can get corrupted.

Believe what you will - but I believe that the lower the IQ, the more easily bought you will be by a God-like, speaking through a religion.
Of course, since nobody has ever come from the afterlife, some "reason-friendly" cunts put the onus of doubt into this fact.
Just accept the sad truth -we will die, possibly alone and then there is no coming back. In that last millisecond of reason before your whole reality is obliterated, a surge of endorphins and DMT will crash thru your dying brain, giving you the illusion that if you follow the white light, you will be safe and cozy, surrounded by oceanic happiness forever.
I do LSD. Much easier and not so final as dying. I have not foud God anywhere.

>Living with god just ment living in a way that creates least amount of suffering for you and others.
then why are people so dead set on people believing in god, rather than living a secular life while living such that suffering is minimized for all individuals? this falls apart when you realize the geopolitical utility of religion.
Lincoln Sanchez
How interesting. I have done LSD and I have communicated with several gods. Perhaps there is some reason why whichever god you are trying to contact does not wish to speak with you?
Ian Roberts
Common sense.
I don't want to be hurt therefore I won't hurt anyone.
I don't want my shit stolen so I don't steal other people's shit.
And on & on.
Ps: I am not sure that these people did anything wrong.

By adhering to the morals set by society, not morals set by some ancient cash and control grab like muh religion

No God - I do not go looking for something that is not there.
