If there is no god you can do as you please to serve yourself without having to worry about trivialities like justice or truth. You live, you die, the end. How comforting it must feel not having to worry about the ultimate consequences of your life and never being held into account. I can see the appeal of atheism for people with no sense of responsibility beyond themselves.
Which is why we have secular laws.
And I have encountered very few atheists who say, "I don't believe in a deity. I'm off to rape, pillage and hurt others!".
I HAVE heard theists say that if they didn't believe in a deity they'd be out doing just that because they wouldn't have anyone to answer to. I've also heard many say that if they thought their god told them to go out and do those things, they'd go out and do it.
Some, of course state, "my god wouldn't tell me to do that" while apparently ignoring all the passages from the bible where he tells them to do just that.
This, to me, is an indication of the mindsets of some believers.
