If there's no morality without religion than how are there moral atheists?

I didn't say there was no morality without religion, I said that religion is a major influence on morality. Having a God figure, that offers "rewards" for living a good life, will influence people to do right.

You did.


Secondly: You say Even if God is real, what has God done to help us? Imagine a world without faith. What is it? It is a world, where people do not fear their actions in life. It is a world, where murder, rape, torture, genocide, stealing and everyother crime goes without conscience, or regret. It is a world, where even though laws exist, there is no reason to keep them. God doesnt exist in that world, so actions on Earth, won't go punished. So what we would have, if god didnt exist, is a world without morals.

Also if you think that your conscience is what makes you fear consequences when you've done wrong, not the feeling of upset only because you've done something immoral, you have no conscience.
