In fact, by claiming that we are imperfect and that our sins are forgiven by proxy and that we'll be as good as we need to be once we are dead, religion excuses such behavior today. Depending on the denomination, there are some who believe that once you take Christ into your heart you are saved no matter what you do. There are others who believe that any action taken in support of their faith is just, regardless of how harmful it is (which follows the example of the OT god, after all).
So not only does god never show up, his effects on our behavior amount to a net zero at best. It's almost as if he was never there at all!
Also didn't religion also say kill [insert specific people] and it doesn't go again love thy neighbor.
Atheism is a non-prophet organization join today.
