In my mind, accepting the truth bears a heavier burden of responsibility to discover for oneself what is appropriate and inappropriate action. But nobody is required to bear that burden of responsibility. So if a majority of people decide they want to be entirely self centered and live in a ruthless society, there is nothing to stop that from occurring.
Or even on a smaller scale, if people want to rape and steal and murder, if they can do so without getting caught, they will. Whereas the majority of religion generally teaches peaceable actions toward others with a divine consequence for disobedience, and helps reign people in from doing whatever they want.
