Why should atheists value human life? As an atheist and someone who subscribes to the Consistent Life Ethic, I want to come from a position that values the individual worth and dignity of every human life.
The consistent life ethic is a philosophy that opposes the killing of human beings, whether through war, the death penalty, euthanasia, abortion, or other violence. We oppose racism, ableism, and poverty. All people have intrinsic value by virtue of being human.
