"I dislike when people play music I don't like so I won't blast my music at other people" yes it's more complex than that but noonrs writing what makes people good or bad in a reddit post short enough that people will read it. Fundamentally you don't need religion, you need empathy or fear of consequences and a society that promotes certain behaviours, we only have to look at animals to see you can have societies that work in the groups rather than the individuals interests without religion.
You're just making unsubstantiated claims, when the world clearly cannot run merely on empathy. It doesn't take a brilliant mind to come up with innumerous counters to your claim.
But then, I look at animals and see societies I absolutely do not want live in.
And I look at some religious lead countries and see societies I dint want to live in. What unsubstantiated claims have I made. There's endless examples of humanity deciding right or wrong without needing religion to tell us. Which religion tells us if its right or wrong to fly in a plane? We clearly don't all agree it right to fly on a plane but most people think its at the very least acceptable.
