The problem of evil/suffering when it comes to children

[Ravenshire]

Although there are no actual gods as those depicted in the literature don't you think that the belief in the imaginary entities acts as a brake upon our more vicious behaviors (except for the guys like the ISIS nuts)?

Considering prisons are stuffed full of faithers, no it doesn't seem to act as a brake. Or, at least only for a minority of them. For every one that claims they would rape and murder if not for gawd, there's one that kills in it's name.
