Can You Have Objective Morality Without God?

Objective Morality Without God: Tom explores defending objective moral principles without a divine lawgiver.

If morality doesn’t come from God, does that mean anything is morally acceptable?

Tom Jump challenges the assumption that atheism necessarily leads to subjective morality. Drawing on his own model of morality and his co-authored book, Objective Morality Without God?, Tom explores how objective moral principles might be defended without a divine lawgiver - and how his framework differs from conventional approaches to atheist ethics.

This creates a natural debate between religious and secular perspectives, challenges assumptions on both sides, and gives listeners a substantive question to wrestle with.

About Tom Jump

Tom Jump, podcast guest

Atheist Philosopher, Debater & Author

Tom Jump is an atheist philosopher, debater and author whose YouTube channel, TJump, has 32,000 subscribers. He tackles some of the biggest questions at the intersection of religion, reason and ethics, engaging with Christian theologians, philosophers and other thinkers on the existence of God and the foundations of morality.

What sets Tom apart is his distinctive approach to debate: rather than relying solely on familiar atheist objections, he evaluates religious arguments from the perspective of the people who make them. His work challenges the assumption that objective morality requires belief in God and explores how people distinguish sound evidence from flawed reasoning.

Tom is the co-author of Objective Morality Without God? and founder of the Church of the Best Possible World, a secular initiative built around his model of morality. He is especially suited to podcasts that welcome rigorous but accessible conversations about atheism, Christianity, evidence, objective morality, the meaning of life and whether belief in God is reasonable.

Podcast hosts can expect a guest who is comfortable with disagreement and direct debate. Tom is particularly interested in speaking with Christian or religious audiences and discussing questions such as whether there is evidence for God, what morality is, how moral claims can be grounded without a deity and how competing worldviews should be evaluated.
