No, RELIGION is the easy way out. RELIGION has a nice set of rules and guidelines for you to follow. Because you, as a person, aren't strong enough to be able to decide for yourself what is right or wrong or what is moral or not.
The average person should be able to know what is wrong, and if they do something wrong, they feel guilty about it. No religion necessary for that. It's called empathy.
You think you need a promise of heaven or a punishment of hell to do good in the world? Then stick with Christianity, I'm afraid you might track my IP and burn my house down otherwise. Since, you know, without religion, there's no set rules or morals, so you'll just become a crazy motherfucker like the rest of us!
