If God does not exist, then it is plausible to think that there are no objective moral values, that we have no moral duties, and that there is no moral accountability for how we live and act. The horror of such a morally neutral world is obvious.

- Atheists Have Meaningful Lives Too
Before we explore that question, we should specify what we’re talking about when we refer to “the meaning of life.” What kind of meaning do we mean? I suggest that when we consider “the meaning of life,” we have in view at least three concepts: purpose, significance, and value. First, we want to know whether our lives have purpose: whether they’re ...
There are basically two ways a human life could possess meaning. It could have a meaning bestowed from outside—what we might call objective as opposed to subjective meaning. Alternatively, it could have a meaning that comes from within, a meaning that is self-ascribed and self-determined. Let’s consider each option in turn. On the Christian view, i...
Many atheists will concede that if there is no God then the universe and human life have no objective meaning. But they’ll quickly add that we shouldn’t conclude that our lives lack any kind of meaning. They’ll suggest that we are able to give our lives meaning, to bestow meaning on ourselves. Since there’s nothing outside us that could ascribe mea...
“But I’m an atheist and my life is very meaningful!” This is the retort I’ve encountered most often when I’ve offered arguments like those above. (It’s usually followed by a list of worthy activities and valuable relationships enjoyed by that person.) My reply is simple: “I don’t deny for a moment that your life is very meaningful.

According to Craig, there can be no objective moral truths without God, and since there are objective moral truths, God must exist. One traditional counter to the argument that God is required to ground objective morality is that we cannot possibly rely on God to tell us what’s morally right and wrong.
Oct 21, 2019 · The question of whether a person can be good without God might seem a strange one. After all, surely none of us would be so arrogant as to claim that only those who believe in God can live a good life. In fact, Christians recognise that others who do not share our faith can live exemplary lives. So, is that the end of the matter? By no means.
The whole question, "Can we live without God"?, whether we like it or not is haunting us in government, in families, in the academy, and as we are raising it for our personal lives. G.
