The definition of a sociopath is having no conscience, isn't it?
And you believe it's impossible to have a conscience unless you
worship some mythical sky-being that never seems to show itself to
anyone anywhere at any time?

spiritual conviction-
That is a profound mental illness/dysfunction on your part, do try
and seek professional help.
and it would be hard to make me believe

possessed of a conscience sufficient to preclude a convenient lie.

as a Federal agent trumps completely any consideration that

Kind of a closed loop, Officer, but there it is.
I don't trust a law officer given to equivocation about moral issues.
Please don't assume that all Atheists are lying sycophants for
a corrupt government of criminals.
