This is the very danger of atheism and the belief that humans are just another animal. Fact of the matter is if humans behave like animals the human race will collapse. Their has to be a moral basis in society that which was provided by the Abrahamic faiths largely Christianity. The idea of looking out for yourself and not valuing those around you will lead to Doomsday.

Considering that the people who support conservative christian organizations are the ones who have the image of 'greedy' and that when christianity was in power (Middle Ages) a strong anti-equality class system was in place, I think you're terribly out of line. It's precisely the authoritarian systems who preach 'morality' (e.g. the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages, Communism) who are the least moral of them all.

Anti-equality was EVERYWHERE in the wolrd up until French Revolution and it has nothing to do with what ideology or religion was in charge back than. rather it has to do with the fact that ALL people inclidng poor, middle class and wealthy didnt even know what social and religious equality is.  Huge majority of people in Middle Ages all over the world believed that some people are superior/inferior to others. It has a lot more to do with the mentality people had back than rather than what ideology and regime was in charge. People simpyl didnt knew any better than what their regime leaders told them. They did so because they believed their leaders are superior human beings
