Can morality exist without God?

Yes. People can reason about harm, fairness, care, freedom, reciprocity and consequences without relying on divine command. EarthSun’s ethics are publicly discussable and revisable. A person may also ground morality in religious belief, but that belief cannot substitute for reasons others can examine.

Value

A deeper answer

EarthSun favours moral accountability that can be questioned. No leader, scripture or private revelation is exempt from examining consequences for conscious beings.

EarthSun’s position is bounded by the public Living Foundation. Where the approved record is incomplete, the correct response is to preserve the uncertainty rather than turn a plausible idea into doctrine.

EarthSun claims

Ethical commitments can be defended through shared reasons and lived consequences.

EarthSun does not claim

That every secular moral view is correct or every religious moral insight is worthless.
