Atheistic Buddhist Morality

This is not a complete description of Buddhist morality, but just meant to show some aspects of what Buddhism teaches. The point here is not to show that this morality is "better" than other morality, but to show that atheism does not define a person's morality. Every atheist approaches life in a different way. You cannot describe the atheist "way of life" because there is no such thing.

Well said

I don't know about the last five, but as for the eightfold path - Buddhism morals arise out of the resolution to live in a planet filled with happy beings. Buddhism deals with the problem of the universality of human suffering, and so the imperative is 2 eradicate the suffering of all beings. THAT is where the Buddhist philosophy of ethics comes from, it's y Buddhism teaches non-violence. It's not a commandmend given by a supernatural foce, but an imperative born of insight and maturity.
