Morality is there but applies to good natured people as far as i can see. If its in your DNA to be a bad natured person , there is no base to stop you from committing misdeeds. One can bring in law but people with no base to decide whats right or wrong will write the law. I cant imagine the outcome of such a world. Reminds me of the movie Equilibrium (2002).
You should come to one of the European countries where atheism is highly prevalent. Your ideas about "most people" are not supported by reality. I think you are just struggling to understand human interaction without your presuppositions about magical forces.
There is also no serious study showing that theists behave "better" than atheists, as far as I'm aware.
I thought you were an atheist anyway? Many Buddhists are.
Your correct Sir, i am an atheist. However i believe in Karma, which you would call witchcraft. That is more or less the main difference between us. I'm not at the mercy of a deity. I don't ask for benefits,guidance and forgiveness. I am responsible for what i do. The OP was if the world were only filled with atheists. What i fail to see is how does one define whats write or wrong? Example : Act of adultery can be right in front of a person who doesn't have a base of whats write or wrong.
