Can an atheist be a moral person? Well, according to this article by Ward Clark, the answer is yes! Clark, an atheist himself, explains that atheists base their morality on their own conscience and sense of right and wrong, rather than on the concept of a higher power. And let me tell you, as a conservative republican news writer, I find that very interesting.

Clark goes on to say that being a moral person means accepting responsibility for one’s own actions and decisions. If you start a business and succeed, great! You deserve the fruits of your labor. But if you fail, well, tough luck. You can’t expect someone else to bail you out. That’s the beauty of personal responsibility, folks.
And speaking of personal responsibility, Clark believes that raising a family is a choice that comes with its own set of responsibilities. You can’t expect your neighbors or the government to take care of your kids. It’s your job to provide for them. And let me just say, it’s refreshing to hear someone acknowledge that, instead of pushing for more government programs to do the job for us.
But being a moral person isn’t just about personal responsibility, it’s also about integrity and consideration for others. Clark argues that trust and good manners are essential for a functioning society. And I couldn’t agree more. We need more integrity and less rudeness in this world. It’s time we start treating each other with respect, don’t you think?
But what about property? Clark believes that a moral person is someone who works hard and contributes value to society. And guess what? I couldn’t agree more. Whether you’re a creative genius or a janitor, if you’re producing value, you deserve to reap the rewards. It’s all about that sweet, sweet property, folks.
In conclusion, being an atheist doesn’t exclude you from being a moral person. In fact, Clark argues that atheists can have a strong sense of morality based on personal responsibility, integrity, and consideration for others. And as a conservative republican, I can appreciate those values. So, let’s not judge someone’s morality based on their religious beliefs, but rather on their actions and character. That’s the true measure of a moral person.
