Not throwing out the baby with the bathwater: why don't atheists typically reject secular values derived from religion?

[inocente]

An argumentum ad hominem.

Or to quote me correctly without breaking in mid-sentence:

Christ is God, not an über-philosopher. Your case is based on way too much theorizing and way too little evidence.

You’re the one making the claims and you’ve offered no evidence and no logic to support them, you’ve just constantly expected others to do the work. There’s no point going on, maybe you could start a thread in the Non-Catholic Religions forum and see if any non-Christians join in to support your claims. See you around.

I simply note the following facts:

1. The principles of liberty, equality and fraternity are implicit in Christ’s teaching that God is our Father.
2. The Jews did not believe in the equality of women in their patriarchal society.
3. There is no evidence that anyone before Jesus treated women and children as equals.
4. Many secular beliefs have a religious origin.

Which answers the OP very neatly:

Because they know they are true! At least we agree on that, I hope…
