Why does god matter? Christopher Hitchens explains why atheists are more moral than religious fundamentalists.

Many Christians will maintain they have a superior foundation for knowing and for choosing to do what is good. They claim to have objective ethical standards for being good, based in a morally good creator god, and that the atheist has no ultimate justification for being moral.

Brockport Student Government sponsored a debate between Christopher Hitchens and Rabbi David Wolpe, moderated by BSG Vice President, Nathan Herbert, on Wednesday, December 2, 2009 at The College at Brockport on the question: "Why Does God Matter?". The debate filled the venue to capacity with nearly seven hundred attendants.

I thank goodness Biblical morality and law has been banned in the USA since 1776.

@benthemiester : Are you going to try to justify your belief in imaginary god by this argument? Just remember, there never was any evidence for gods, there is no reason to believe in gods. Morality comes from people, we are the ones making it up as we go along.

So the answer is you, me, hitler, stalin, mother Teresa. Society is the judge, and every individual is the judge.

Atheism is the denial of god or gods; it can not said to be "morally superior."

@WayOfTheMaster454 Limited understaning? You are making some biased assumptions there (terminating a growth of cells who cannot live independently is a kill?) so please stop falselighting. Society does not tolerate murder of children as it is and if you now include cells on that, imagine how many are "killed" for the sake of 1 birth. Your morality disguises the truth that it is really targeted control and empoverishment for women. You are free to choose not to abort and help kids dying of hunger
