re: Stunning Admission By Renowned Atheist; Decline of Christianity is Hurting Society

There's no such thing as a conscience though. That conscience is nothing more than a few neurons firing one way and the other. There is no conscience as there is nothing beyond the biological that exists. Or there shouldn't be with a purely atheist view.

If you were agnostic or a general deist in some sense, without being christian, sure. But a real athetist should believe in no "thing" beyond the biological. Conscience is then just an illusion that we decide to accept, or it's a biological reaction that merely exists to continue the existence of the species and drive biologically based decision making that evolves the species. Nothing more.

this is a weak argument against atheism (or "what atheists should believe") and physicalism in general. non-reductive physicalism and epiphenomenalism both recognize the reality of mind states and their physical or what you are calling "biological" basis.
