Christian’s, Atheists, and Morals?

[PsyopRanger]

Here is my question:

People of monotheological faith – Christians/Muslims/Jews, have a set of morals or a moral principle that outlines right and wrong.* These people are supposed to live up to this moral principle, does this always happen? Of course not.*

However there is a set of moral principles to fall back on which are the base line of moral judgment.* In Islam, there are two types of Jihad, one that is associated with protecting the homeland and the other is an inner struggle a Muslim faces at remaining true
to there faith or moral guidelines.

Much of the hostility of radical Islam toward the West is based on the belief that the West is corrupt in their moral principles and need to be reformed.

Up until the 1950’s, most parents in America followed Judeo/Christian morals as a common guideline to parenting and instilled these morals in their children.* In the late 1950’s, academia began rejecting these teachings and democratic parenting, where the child is seen as an equal to his parents and rules and morals are subject to debate, became popular based on the teachings and research of Rousseau, Thoreau, Gesell, Skinner and Dreikurs.*

This form of parenting focuses on no authoritarian rule and conflict avoidance versus parents as the authority and conflict resolution. Since this time we have seen an increase in crime, drug and alcohol abuse, teen pregnancy, divorce, etc.

The current debate today is that some people believe in following these moral principles and believes that people should be raised to the moral standard not lowering the standard for each individual person’s specific situation.

The other side believes these morals are incorrect and each person should be able to dictate their own moral principles based on their wishes and individual situation.*

The real question here is for atheists:

What or where do you derive your moral principles from?*
Are they subject to change based on individual circumstances?*
Do you believe that there should be a moral standard that a society cannot cross?

(This is not meant to be an argument but a sincere effort to understand)
