There is no civilised without religion.
What we call civilised in the west is good moral teaching. Listening to judges debate justice the only reason we don't chop off hands and have capital punishment is because we take the examples of turning the other cheek, there being good in everyone and the promise of eternal judgment into account. In short, the western justice system appears to be based upon religion.
