LOL, It's not unreasonable that people COULD do fine without religion. It would be difficult to determine the effects with a level of precision that would be required to consider it a fact. That said, it's fairly obvious that there are many who would do terrible things faced with that loss. I suppose those groups are the ones people are thinking of when they assume chaos.
(and yes, I also feel that it is patronizing to think that people NEED these myths. I think it would be more prudent to say that some WANT these myths very very badly)

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
