That is so true. Many of today's human behaviour and decency, as well as law and order, derive from the more popular religions and ideologies, including the fear of God's wrath. An example is the Common Law: written based on the Bible. The Western world and culture mostly derive from Roman Catholicism and Protestantism: a far cry from pagan beliefs or atheistic principals of bygone days. Even atheists of today are shaped by those beliefs, no matter how much they want to deny it.
Just look at how the atheist world of Communism is run: can be ruthless to the core because hardly anyone that runs those places believes that the human soul is accountable for anything.
