So my question to theists is if you suddenly lost belief in your religion, how likely would it be that you would radically alter your behaviour towards others?

I'm surprised at this, too. Though I am reminded daily in the workplace that there are people literally waiting to stomp on others as soon as they can grab their next promotion. And it's expressed so matter-of-factly. I wonder it there's hope for the world at all. Edit: Sorry I responded just to see the results - selecting Impossible.
