"your statement that priests and The Church have higher standards than non-Christians is blatantly Euro-centric and biased thinking."
Is "Euro-centric" thinking inherently wrong? Where would you rather have heart surgery, Paris or Calcutta?

I agree that atheists have morals. These morals however are founded on no permanent or transcendent basis, and therefore can change any time. Atheism has spawned cultures like the USSR and Red Cuba. If you think that these are equal to Christian cultures than you are welcome to indulge your fantasy and go live in Cuba, and enjoy the wonderful advances that atheism has achieved for its slavers - er, citizens.
