The '''Moral Zeitgeist''' is a term used by [[atheists]] to describe the evolution of morality. Proponents of a moral ''Zeitgeist'' believe that morality evolved to help what they believe to be our ape-like ancestors survive in large groups as social animals. This theory suggests that moral acceptability is chosen by the masses. As people's view of what is morally right and wrong changes, the moral ''Zeitgeist'' is said to "shift." This position is rejected by Creationists and most Christians. | The '''Moral Zeitgeist''' is a term used by [[atheists]] to describe the evolution of morality.
