- I believe that individuals have an intuitive understanding of what is right or wrong. However, as an atheist, you may not have a solid foundation for making claims about morality. While you can argue that it lacks wisdom to cause harm to others, it is important to consider the basis for such claims. Ultimately, personal opinions are subjective and hold no more validity than those of others, including individuals who may engage in immoral practices. Moreover, societal opinions, which could differ greatly from our own, cannot be deemed as universally correct or incorrect, much like in the case of a tribal society that practices child cannibalism. Your argument regarding Muslims does not undermine the objectivity of morality; it simply demonstrates that individuals, societies, or religions can err in their moral judgments. It would be akin to different groups thinking that 2+2 equals 3 or 5—it wouldn't alter the fact that 2+2 equals 4, as mathematics represents an objective truth.
