Why should I bother to care about your feelings, there's no guidebook that instructs me to care about your feelings. You're just organized mass of chemicals and advanced animal so then why should I bother myself about your feelings. What makes human's so special that they should be treated any differently than other animals. This is the logic that will arise out of an evolutionary worldview.
Many anti-evolutionists assume take that view. Why in the absence of God is anything good or bad?
The answer is - our definition of what is good and bad is built into us. Those who are not religious are just as good as those who are not. People generally regard other people as valuable without being told to by God or religion. Does being told by God or religion that people are valuable contradict your own internal feelings? I doubt that it does.
BTW, the fact that others on this forum do not believe in God does not excuse you from treating them well - you DO believe in God and therefore by your own view MUST treat them well.
