Even if there was no God, would religion still be necessary?

    There are a lot of people who don't believe in god, and they're not criminals.
    Not being religious, or not believing in judgement after death doesn't make you have less morals or common sense.
    And if the only thing that stops you from committing mass murder is the fear of god, then you're not a good person, you're just an obedient hypocritical slave. A lot of mindless christian sheep fall into that category.

      I agree 100%, but wouldn't religion be useful to keep these assholes in check?

        sure. if by in check you mean batshit insane.

        just look throughout history, Salem witch trails, Spanish inquisition, the crusades.

        the best and most self-righteous murderers are all religious.

      I agree with this.
      Whether or not there is a God does not effect how I choose to live.
      Honestly it makes no difference to me what the answers to the universe are, if there even is any.
