Good without God is a slogan commonly used by Western atheists to advance the notion that one can be good without God.
The psalmist David declared concerning atheists: "The fool has said in his heart, 'There is no God.' They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good." — Psalms 14:1 (KJV)
The atheist activist Richard Carrier published a book entitled Sense and Goodness Without God: A Defense of Metaphysical Naturalism. Carrier divorced his wife and now practices polyamory.[1] Before divorcing his wife, he was involved in adulterous affairs.[2]
The American Humanist Association uses this slogan very prominently on their website.
