Why be good if there is no hell?

Because morale is a societal and not a religious thing.

It seriously feels good to see this written down sometimes. I hate that religion somehow laid claim to morality.

[-] dariusj18@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

My rebuttal to this is (they usually include murder as the bad thing being done), "Are you telling me fear of hell is the only thing keeping you from murdering me right now? Says a lot more about your morals than mine."

Maybe, just maybe, also because that may have been the way to get some impulsive but simple-minded people to not make a mess for those around them. Didn't work with everyone, though. If it ever did, with anyone.

Also, it seems shockingly easy to get some people to commit evil acts as they think they are doing good... and that usually comes carrying a lot of religious ideology and/or methodology, curiously enough.

Yeah, it can be easily influenced. See Stanford prisoner experiment. Religion can be an influence too, but religios people can't imagine a life without it.
