I do not believe that earth has a shape and also I believe God does and doesn't exist at the same time. So what shall I choose?

Because they think the facts given by Theists is right, so definitely it must be flat because these people say so and give no real, grand proof. :D

Simply by not having faith. Not even enough faith to believe the scientific consensus. I used to have so little faith that I couldn't even believe that airplanes exist, even though one of my friends claimed to have been in one.
But now I think there is a better way to live: have faith in those for whom you have good reasons to trust.
You have good reasons to trust science: it gave you medicine, it gave you a computer, it gave all that fun you had in school learning it…
And what did religion give us to trust it? I am not going to refer to any specific religion here. Circumcision, FGM, human sacrifices, animal sacrifices, inquisition, indulgence, holding back the science, crusades…

Morality has been a basic defining tenant of humanity

The fact that a brand new religion included morality
in its rule book does not give it ownership of the concept.

How does that Richard Dawkins quote back up whatever it is you're trying to say? Are you saying that Christianity is the only reason you have morals? Or only Christians have morals? I get that you think the earth is only 6,000 yrs old, and that the Christian Bible is the first book and it describes history as it happened exactly... but in reality, the stories in the Bible were borrowed from other older cultures.

Morals vary from culture to culture, and morals are similar (in some cases) from culture to culture. What we find moral or immoral has changed through the ages.

Or other cultures borrowed from Christianity. And my point is that Christians, according to Richard, have the most morals. Or at least their stance on morals is keeping us from something worse.

Richard Dawkins did not say that Christians have the most morals. lol That doesn't even make sense. I imagine he was comparing Christians to Muslims. Sharia law would be something worse, being forced to adhere to Islam's rules would definitely be worse... than the Christianity we have today. But if we were forced to live by the rules of the Christian Bible then it would be six of one and half a dozen of the other.

As a name yes. But it has roots in Judaism and that was I reffering to.
