You need less police. You have self oppression, today Godless people tend to use Marxism, Feminism and Humanism to oppress themselves. Think about it, when the USA was devoutly Christian there was far less crime.
Religion does not stop crime or immoral behaviour. I don't get how people can even use this as an argument. I do not believe in God or Hell, and am I going around committing crimes? No, I am not. Plus we have a legal system to punish people who commit crimes. So why do we also need to make people afraid of going to Hell? Religion is not useful.
