In fairness, you may be right. There are quite a few people who have all but admitted in these threads that their fear of hell is the only thing keeping them in check. Eliminate that "check" and we might have a lot of lawlessness to deal with. After all, it has been claimed numerous times by the believers that without religion, there are no morals - no "right" and "wrong". I personally don't believe this, but obviously many people do.
It's a shame, but you're probably right. Many people
need religion.
