The thing is, I "can do whatever I want as long as I don't get caught" too.
As many people have said, I rape, murder and steal just as much as I want to. The amount I want to happens to be zero.
Some people may actually want to do them. Even so, wanting to and doing them are two different things. But if believing in God is literally all that stops you suddenly becoming a borderline psycopath (people in general) then by all means keep believing. I just don't personally believe that most people who think this way would really act how they predict without a god belief. I don't think I've ever heard of a mentally sound person leaving religion and then going nuts. All the stories I've heard are quite the opposite.
