→Objective love exists. Atheists are wrong about love/morality being merely subjective
Thus, if [[Naturalism (philosophy)|naturalism]] is true, it becomes impossible to condemn war, oppression, or crime as evil. Nor can one praise brotherhood, equality, or love as good. It does not matter what values you choose—for there is no right and wrong; good and evil do not exist. That means that an atrocity like the Holocaust was really morally indifferent. You may think that it was wrong, but your opinion has no more validity than that of the Nazi war criminal who thought it was good. In his book Morality after Auschwitz, Peter Haas asks how an entire society could have willingly participated in a state-sponsored program of mass torture and genocide for over a decade without any serious opposition.<ref>[http://www.reasonablefaith.org/can-we-be-good-without-god Can We Be Good without God?] by [[William Lane Craig]]</ref>}}

There is a significant amount of [[racism]] within the [[atheist population]] (see: [[Atheism and racism]]). This also holds true for atheists in the [[Western World]] as well (see: [[Western atheism and race]]).
