Nope. You must be watching the wrong kind. There's some good sh*t out there, nowadays...

For example someone wont lie just because it's a bad thing but if he can escape some punishment he will and nothing bad would happen to him as there is no afterlife and so.
In response to that I give you the Scandinavian nations.
Among the lowest rates of religion in the world and consistently among the lists of the best nations to live in.
Worldwide surveys have consistently ranked the Scandinavian countries — with their generous family-leave policies, low crime, free health care, rich economies and, yes, high income taxes — as the happiest places on earth. But this happiness has always been accompanied by a paradox: the happiest countries also seem to have the highest suicide rates.

It has very little to say about ethics being tied to religion or founded by religion. I believe that atheists are more ethical than theists. We don't have all of the religious bullshit clogging up our brains and thus making the ethical choice easier.
You need to listen for the "POP". That will be your head coming out of your ass.
I will ask u one question why are drugs bad? aren't they a choice? and doing them wont hurt anyone else so why are they bad from your point of view.
