1) A means to explain what science was not yet advanced enough to.
2) Control the population. Many good morals were identified, and instilled with fear of fire and brimstone because it kept people in line.
Who is the better person, the atheist who does good for the sake of being good, or the theist who does good to please their deity?
1: Religion and Science go together. Religion by itself doesnt explain Science. But science explains the design of God. The work of God.
2: Control the population through good morales? lol That doesnt sound like control. What evil person would want people to be good? The paradox of that XD haha
Wouldnt it be better for a evil person to try and corrupt an entire society? Through homo-sexuality, greed, stealing, lying, ect?
Pleasing a entity is only PART of that. A person who believes in religion also does good because they truely want to do good, just like a good atheist :)
You see people arent slaves just because they follow a religion. People are still allowed to make their own decisions. Thats what some religions are about, making your own decisions. But at the same time, STILL believing in a God.
IIN to think that without religion the world would collapse?

Btw, just because something may feel good like gay sex, doesnt make it automatically right.
Stealing may feel good to some people, because of the rush they get, but regardless stealing is still bad.
