What do you think of Gora’s quotation on atheism and morality? read details?

Because morality is a social necessity, the moment faith in god is banished, man’s gaze turns from god to man and he becomes socially conscious. Religious belief prevented the growth of a sense of realism. But atheism at once makes man realistic and alive to the needs of morality.

Morality existed before the bible was written and will exist long after it is viewed as the nonsense it is. Morality exists within us in order to survive and perpetuate the species. Gods have nothing to do with it.
