Elizabeth Anderson, a philosopher at the University of Michigan, provides a tough minded consideration of the moral argument for the existence of God and religion. In it, she ranges widely and makes a strong argument concerning the origin of morality. Her argument about what morals can be derived from sacred texts is especially challenging. Provide APA style in-text citations and references for the items you refer to in the text of your answer.

  1. What is the moral argument for the existence of God/religion that Anderson sets out to dispel?
  2. Why does she think that the moral argument fails?
  3. Where does she think human morality comes from and what does she think is the best way of approaching morality/ethics?

Required Texts
  • Elizabeth Anderson, "If God is Dead, Is Everything Permitted?" Chapter 39 in The Portable Atheist (Available in Follett Discover).
