Re: Who would you expect to be more moral - an Atheist or a Theist?
As others have said, as a theist (rather more of a Deist, but nvm) I can’t vote for either one. I don’t EXPECT an Atheist to act immorally because I believe all people are guided by intentions towards an absolute good whether they believe it or not. And plenty of Theists are unable to control their nasty bits despite a conscious knowledge of why they should behave. As Hobbes said, “For the thoughts are to the desires as scouts and spies to range abroad and find the way to the things desired, all steadiness of the mind's motion, and all quickness of the same.”
