Where do you get your morals from?

I was watching a clip from a CNN show from last year where they had on a Christian Reverend and an atheist woman debating the rights of atheists in America.  The atheist woman started speaking about how this country was founded on separation of Church and State and to have the word "God" on every bill and courthouse is unconstitutional. She did not speak out against religious peoples' rights to have those but for atheists' people right not to.

Off course when the Reverend started his argument, he began talking about morals and about why religion is good. He mentioned that it is ok to be an atheist, just do not try and change America. He later compared the atheist movement to the homosexual movement where they "imposed" their lifestyle on people. And then he proceeded by yelling out to her "where do you get your morals from? We get our morals from the Bible and God, where do you get your morals from?"

Right when the atheist woman was ready to answer the question, the clip ended.  I am not sure that she ever had the chance to answer him and with what, but allow me to take in that task in today's blog. I might not be a full-blown atheist but I definitely do NOT believe in ANY religion.  So where do I get my morals from?

Well, first off we have to define morals. If the question means to ask about morals like "Don't kill, Don't rape, Don't steal, Don't torture (except enemy combatants)" then the answer is simple: Laws. Most morals like the aforementioned and others are the same in every religion and every country.  Matter of fact, those "morals" have been around thousands of years before Jesus and the birth of Christianity in many cultures. 

However, if the good Reverend was referring to other "morals" like accepting Jesus Christ as your lord and savior, well those "morals" are unemployed in my book.  It is remarkable to say that America is a "Christian" or a "Religious" nation when only three of the ten commandments are laws (don't kill, don't steal, don't perjure yourself). Also when there is no evidence that our first president was anything but tolerant to all religions and atheists or our second president not believing in the divinity of Christ or our third president not believing Jesus Christ was a "the son of God" or "the promised Messiah."

You have to decide America, either we are wrong and the founding fathers and their beliefs are correct or they were wrong and George W. Bush is corr (my conscious does not permit me to finish this sentence).
