Please read one of my previous comments. Religion is what allows you to sit at a computer typing this. There is NO way, with our animalistic instincts that humanity would be here today but for religion. Religion is the thing that raises us up from animals.

It is in fact the absolute opposite. Though social changes change things, it is religion which keeps us from being animals. Lets face it, societies change all the time. What is acceptable now, may be taboo in the future and vice versa. The gospels are just as relevant today as 2000 years ago. Lets face it, morals have to be based on something. If you fundementally dont belive in God, there are no consequences but what society decides is right. Our society is based on a Christian ethos. THATS why we have a ordered existence, and not a society based on animalistic instincts, which is what we are without God.
Without God we are merely entitys bound by nothing.
And you CANT prove it is false. What religious believers have is faith. Our faith is not misplaced. Maybe you are right. Maybe I will die and that is it. But thats not what I believe.
