Who takes the blame: the leader who talks of poverty but lives in luxury, or the poor who choose a leader of that type? - Goparaju Ramachandra Rao

Religious belief prevented the growth of a sense of realism. But atheism at once makes man realistic and alive to the needs of morality.

Because morality is a social necessity, the moment faith in god is banished, man's gaze turns from god to man and he becomes socially conscious. Religious belief prevented the growth of a sense of realism. But atheism at once makes man realistic and alive to the needs of morality. Atheism alone is the surest way to morality. Those who oppose atheism in any form betray their vested interests in inequality of some kind of other.

Real morality is possible when the sanctions for morality are also tangible and real. Therefore, atheism shifts the basis of morality from faith in god to obligations of social living. Moral conduct is not a passport to heaven; it is social necessity.
