Can atheists have work ethics associated with an organized religion? That's kind of having your God and denying him too, isn't it?

Of course, Atheist work ethic sounds like crap. As does former Protestant work ethic. Apostatized Protestant work ethic? Hmm. This is a toughy.

I'm not sure why you see such a conundrum. I was once a devout Protestant and now I'm not. The god is gone but the culture remains. I didn't forget all my bible learning automatically when I left the church.

And, just as easily I could have substituted "Midwestern" for "Protestant" and the point would be about the same.

..you live in the South.

P.S. You have such an incredibly yankable chain. I just can't resist sometimes.
