1. You can't be moral without God!

(a) Speak for yourself.
(b) When the tools of science -- logic, empiricism, a concern for the kinds of happiness and suffering that can be measured and predicted -- are removed from moral reasoning, all you're left with is the nonsense and bigotry that comes from revelation. When you remove god from moral reasoning, you still have all the tools of the mind at your disposal, and a natural concern for human happiness and suffering.

2. Religion is not incompatible with Science: 'Non-Overlapping Magisteria'

NOMA is just a fancy way of saying one isn't allowed to think about religion, and it's absurd on its face. Everybody thinks about religion. People who think about it scientifically do so better than those who don't.
