[Duty]

Because, without God, it's up to us to make a decent, fair world. We're obliged to be moral. Theists can and do, as you say, just "recline in God's arms." And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the number one reason I disdain religion. That and the lack of logic and/or evidence for any gods' existence.

Why? People aren't obliged to be moral, with or without God. I used to know two atheist brothers (in real life) who would hold you at knife point if you had nice shoes. I'm pretty sure they didn't feel "obliged to be moral".

They just hadn't thought it through properly, just like their old acquaintance Ahriman, by all appearances.
