 Herb,

If you say a person, (assuming a sane person) even one who does not
follow a religious belief system or obligation, acts according to what
ever he feels is right and wrong, I think then by definition all men have
morals--Christian, criminal, fanatic or fallibilist. My point is that to
be safe in his conviction and environment, even a non-religious person
must have faith that others (geographically) around him in society also
have an acceptable regard for right and wrong. I wasn't stating a fact,
just poking fun at what has already been said here---that even a humanist
mus have faith.

  On what do you base the notion that "all men (and women) have
  morals"?
  Are you prepared to face some evidence that your assumption is wrong?
