Abstract
In our modern society, in which "God is dead" and where religion appears to decline, are we moving towards an immoral society -if as we have seen above- morality is so tied to religion ? Or can an atheist, who doesn't believe that God exists, can be moral, i.e. be able to conduct according to certain values, common to a society or, some other group, or else in accordance of all rational persons.
Thus we can wonder if atheism and moral are really in complete contradiction. Can morality survive without religion ? In other words, does morality depend actually on religion ? And if an atheist can be moral, is religious ethics different from secular ethics ?
