One of the most puzzling questions I get as an atheist is where I get morality from. As if the only place to get morality from is an external force, or a dusty old tome. Again, it has been shown that morality is a societally developed construct, and ancient forms of morality no longer apply to the modern world. Neuro-scientists have known this for a long time, and some are even arguing that we need to pay closer attention to the neuro-science of morality as opposed to the legislative aspect.
