No. Under certain circumstances it can serve to enforce vile behavior.

What you're missing in your thread is the fact that what we call immoral behavior is simply human. It's neither tied to religion nor to it's absence. It's up to the individual to respect some basic rules of society. There is no safety belt provided by faith or it's absence.
