The reason I'm skeptical about that point is Yahweh has a long, confusing and often contradictory list of rules to follow. The fact that everyone from Michael Moore to Fred Phelps can follow Jesus only shows you that Jesus is the imaginary friend who tells them to do what they already wanted to do in the first place.
Imagine someone saying, "You have no guide to morality but my imaginary friend tells me what's right and wrong." That's pretty much what Christians do.
No wonder people tend to be more moral without it.
