It is astonishing how difficult it can be for some religious people to understand basic concepts of "don't be an asshole" without religion.

I talked to a muslim woman once, who asked if I was not afraid that my then girlfriend would cheat on me, because we both weren't religious. She basically said if you're afraid of a godly punishment then you can find trust and peace in a relationship.

I plainly answered that you do not need fear of any god to be considerate and careful with someone. Nor does this necessitate morals. And if she would betray me, then she simply would be an asshole and not the right person for me.

It went back and forth like this for a while, because she seems to have been astonished that people can have happy relationships built on mutual trust without fearing magical sky people.
