“If this being is omnipotent, then every occurrence, including every human action, every human thought, and every human feeling and aspiration is also His work; how is it possible to think of holding men responsible for their deeds and thoughts before such an almighty Being? In giving out punishment and rewards He would to a certain extent be passing judgment on Himself. How can this be combined with the goodness and righteousness ascribed to Him?”
~Albert Einstein
And there’s one critical difference in the morality of believers and the morality of non-believers. Believers defer responsibility, at least to some abstract degree, elsewhere. That is not possible in an atheistic system of belief. Responsibility must always fall on the shoulders of man.
