So under Atheism, rules about normal sexuality begin to fall
apart. As such, what would the sexual culture look like without religion?
Let us discuss.
Sex and Atheism: In atheism (or at least true atheism where judgments and
societal stigmas have disappeared as atheists believe that without religion
discrimination of peoples would not exist) a person can be any gender, sex, or
gender identity. Issues of people of different races and ages (age of
consent would probably be pushed to the lowest possible), having sexual
relations would potentially disappear. So a 40 year old can get it on
with a 19 year old or even a 17 year old and there would not be a problem.
Sexual relations between people of the same sex or genders would not be
frowned upon. Even fetishes would be accepted to a degree based on agreed
upon societal norms if any with respect to sex. Truth be told, sex under
atheism would resemble that of ancient Greece and Rome where you can pretty
much have sex with anyone you want. Even sex for money or some other form of
gain would be allowed if society is willing to accept it. As such,
society would be the decider of what is an acceptable sex practice assuming
that society even cares about what you do in the bedroom.
Gender roles will also disappear, with men and women's clothes
becoming interchangeable. As such a man can wear a skirt, a woman can
bare their chest, or you can be dressed in a diaper for all people care.
In true atheism, there is no gender either. So there is complete sexual
freedom and with that gender identity freedom and the way you express that
gender and sexuality as well (yes you can even go nude too). The idea
here is that love becomes just that, "LOVE" and nothing else.
No religion (which set the rules of marriage) or even to an extent
governmental rules (derived from religious rules) deciding who can love who.
In this instance, there is no marriage either as marriage is a religious
institution. As such couplings (I do not have a better word for it)
become the norm. A coupling is when two people come together who are in
love and then agree to be mutually exclusive with one another or this can even
be between multiple people as well with respect to people who love more than
one single person. These couplings can also be formed so as to raise
children (adopted or naturally born). Essentially it is a completely new
dynamic with respect to relationships, whereas divorce no longer exists and
people can simply say they do not love each other anymore and just up and leave
their now former significant other behind.
Conclusion:
With complete and total sexual freedom and also gender and personal identity,
people can love people any way they want. From paternal, and platonic to
full on sex addicts and fetishes, all become acceptable (potentially even
relations between blood relatives if no rules are set). Well this is my
view on it if we get pure atheism and lose the values imparted to us through
religion (I am and will always be Catholic). I am not really complaining
either, as I believe in pure love myself, I just think we need some rules here
with respect to blood relatives and children under a certain age (these rules
were originally established via religion). Overall, this sexual freedom
fits with libertarianism, but people just need to be ready for it.
