The Moral Point

Let's make this quick:

Does God exist?

From a moral stand point, it doesn't matter - the vast majority still act the exact same way, regardless of their belief. Atheists tend to have the exact same moral code as Agnostics, Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, etc.. Quite frankly, if you worship Satan, the point stands so long as your actions and feelings stand true to the overall compassion toward your fellow man. So, from that single perspective, I do not care what your belief is, because if you have even a moderate level of a moral compass, then you are no different than anyone else standing in front of you.

Of course, I have to reiterate, this is a vast majority, not unanimity - because, as with almost everything in the waking world, there are exceptions, but even with those exceptions, you should create a different set of reactions for the situation and exception, because the generalization of the majority is likely to hurt the integrity of the moral point with little to no record (like dragging a fishing net through an abundance of fish to catch one specific fish and throwing the rest back after they've perished).
