I’ve encountered a frighteningly high number of people who say things like, “if people didn’t believe in god, what will stop them from going out to steal or kill?”
I grew up in a fairly secular household (parents never took us to church except for weddings or funerals) and even I knew from a young age that stealing* and murder is wrong. “God” didn’t factor into those morals at all.
*except stealing from big corporations, as I learned as I got older
To steal a Penn Gillette joke… I already kill and steal as much as I want already. I don’t actually want to kill anyone and I wouldn’t do it even if there were no consequences.

It also says not to have gay sex so it’s kind of a mixed bag.
