Atheists if you disproved God won't anarchy soon follow.?
Lets say you proved to Christians, Muslims, Jews, Buddhist or any other religion that believes in a higher power to be false. What would stop religious people from doing evil things? If they knew there was no God and no consequences, what would actually stop them from killing, raping, stealing and rioting with complete anarchy?
Pretty much Atheists you might want to stop trying to disprove God, because if you succeed the majority of religious people would start Anarchy and annihilate the world, due to the fact there's no consequences for their actions and they wouldn't have to answer to God.

Killing raping stealing and rioting have been done in the name of religion since mankind inhabited Planet Earth so what do you think would change if the whole world were atheists?
For a start atheists are far more moral than religious zealots. We do not get our instructions from a mad religious leader who claims to speak for a diety nobody can prove. We do not kill rape and abuse others because this religious leader tells us to. We do not shun our own children because a religious leader tells us to.
Theists have a lot to learn from moral atheists if only they would learn.

On here, everyone acts like people are either fundamentalist type theists or militant atheists. The reality is, most people are neither. If we proved there was no god, there would be a lot of people that were upset. There probably would be rioting in some countries (most likely the same ones that riot because of god). In the end, though, I think most people would just keep going on with life like they normally have. I'd guess it'd be like 9/11 (or any other tragedy that affects a large amount of people). It'd be upsetting, it'd change the way a lot of people do things, but in 10 years, you'd hardly know it happened.

We're not trying to disprove god, we're pointing that there's no reason for anyone to treat us like dirt for not believing what they consider obvious.
I'm sure that a lot of religious people would go wild if they thought there was no god. It's pretty obvious that they have no internal moral compass and rely entirely on threats to do the right thing. Religion seems to intentionally wipe out the internal morals of its followers so they can replace it with blind obedience.

If the religious are moral because of they are afraid of god, that's a poor reason to be moral. Don't good people just wanna be good people? There will always be bad.
No religion will mean no holy excuses for wars, terrorists and pedophilia caused by religious custodians.

Yes, I hear the religious folks say all the time they would be out raping and killing without gawd so they belong in church.
I'm not here to disprove their gawd, I just want them to know they should keep their imaginary friend in their homes and churches. They need to stop trying to rule the rest of the world just because their imaginary friend says so

Atheists are no more likely to be killers or criminals than anyone else. Several European countries, particularly the northern ones like Norway and Finland, are actually majority atheists. Over 50% of their population do not believe in god, and yet they have a remarkably low crime rate and a civilized society.

"If they knew there was no God and no consequences, what would actually stop them from killing, raping, stealing and rioting with complete anarchy?"
I'm an atheist. I don't believe in the existence of any deity.
Are you suggesting I rape, steal and do "evil things"?
You're an idiot.

It would be the weak-minded that let their faith be swayed by a few words, all because they didn`t study on their own beliefs and others to unite. And the weak-minded are the ones mentioned to go unstable and hostile against themselves and others. Don't make less of what is.

I always said it, religion is a crutch, and if you are a moral cripple who would become evil if not for imaginary gods, by all means stay religious.
I'm just against forcing crutches on normal, healthy people, is all.

Just proves how religious people are only bound to morals by their fear of being punished and not their actual love for other people
