Where does the atheist/humanist get their morality from?

[QUOTE="mzungu, post: 60766128, member: 274335"] Where do elephants get their desire to help another's baby elephant stuck in the mud? Where do dogs get their desire to help a human in need? I have yet to meet a religious animal other than humans. What is morality? It all depends whom you ask; I am sure a Bible thumping American Christian will give a different answer to an European moderate who is a Christian. One will find more in common regarding moral codes between atheists in Europe with Christians in Europe than Christians in America with Christians in Europe. In Fact fundamentalist Christians in America have more in common with fundamentalist Muslims when it comes to moral codes. In Europe it is generally accepted that Capital punishment is immoral while in America the overwhelming Christian community of the evangelical and Baptist faiths are pro capital punishment. In short I think that societies mould moral codes to suit their social norms. Theistic societies and secular societies usually have the same moral codes if those societies are not based on fundamentalism. [/QUOTE]
