As romantic love goes, I don't believe unconditional love exists, except when someone has such a poor self image they will love someone regardless of how poorly they are treated, but that is just sick.

How can the absence of belief in god generate love? This is a non-sequitur. The two have nothing to do with each other.

Maybe a less overthought statement is that one is more likely to have a better quality of love if it's not animated by unsubstantiated assertions and random dogmas.

Absolutes are never accurate. Well, I don't believe this one anyway.

Sorry dude but the only thing in this world that I’ve ever seen display unconditional love is an animal and even then that’s not 100%.

Even as an atheist you automatically have an expectation that who ever you’ll love will have to share in your belief system and your statement already confirms that.

So until humans can learn to openly accept all others unconditionally then in no way will we ever be able to love unconditionally.

I love the different view points in the first 3 comments

3. No such thing as unconditional love
4. Atheists can only show unconditional love
5. No, everyone can show unconditional love

Ummmm, no.

Religious people are just as capable of unconditional love as atheist. In fact, religion has absolutely nothing to do with it.

I know just as many people who are non religious that are bigots as I do religious people.
