The consequences of conflating atheism with evolution has been remarkably annunciated by Doctor Alvin Plantinga. Plantinga demonstrated that if both atheism and evolution were true, it would be unlikely that our cognitive faculties were functional.
While this may be the most logically detrimental consequence of this combination, it is certainly not the most morally appalling one. There are several atrocities which have led thinking atheists into the clutches of nihilism, and, in the words of Bertrand Russell, there is no atheistic solution.
If evolution and atheism are true, then we are completely lost in moral relativism. For, as I have stated many times before, if I deem something a moral abomination, and another deems something morally indifferent, who is right? In the absence of an objective standard of morality to appeal to, neither of us are truly right, or truly wrong. Therefore, no mans' standard of morality can be objected to.
Atheists have tried for centuries to justify appealing to objective morality. Men like Doctor Sam Harris, or Doctor Shelly Kagan have attempted to assert that an end that serves the flourishing of human beings is the standard on which morality is measured. The obvious problem with this human beings can flourish in immorality. A perfect example of this is the Nazis, who attempted to extrapolate the flourishing of future generations of human beings. There is no atheistic solution to the problem of morality. The only option that allows intellectual honesty and aligns with atheism is to agree that all morality is relative.
So the homosexual who abandons his Christian heritage can never find refuge in the confines of a purely atheistic worldview. For the homosexual who says that it is perfectly alright to be homosexual, might be accurate, relative to himself. However, so is the man who says it is perfectly alright to gay-bash.
One might reply that nobody actually lives like this. The atheists do not think it is morally acceptable to gay-bash. To this I would reply, of course they don't. I am not saying that atheists live in such a manner. I am saying they live inconsistently with their worldview. I am saying that they live in objective morality despite that their worldview does not support it. They assert human rights despite that the only human rights that their worldview distributes is in natural selection.
Natural selection has dictated that only via heterosexual method will the species advance. Therefore, on atheism and evolution, and this "flourishing of the species" end, homosexuality can never be accepted. Homosexuality is a diversion from the mainstream genetic code, and the mainstream genetic code is the basis of our advancement. If we are somehow given rights by natural selection, the homosexual would not have them, for homosexuality flies directly in the face of the 'herd morality,' namely, the flourishing of human beings by natural selection.
Further, if atheism and evolution are true, womens' rights become completely irrelevant. Natural selection has dictated that the male is dominate gender of the species. Women have no 'rights' to resist that, anymore than a female goat has the 'right' to resist sexual advances of a male goat.
If atheism and evolution are true, we are just complex chunks of matter; walking around with delusions of ethics, rights, and values, atop an infinitesimal head of a pin, lost in a hostile, mindless universe, doomed to perish in a relatively short time.
It is only by God do the homosexual, and the woman receive rights and intrinsic moral value. It is in Christianity - true Christianity that the homosexual will feel the love of his fellow man, for Jesus said, "Love each other, as I have loved you."
Abandoning Christianity in response to persecution is not a solution at all.
