My 2 cents Worth:

It's very easy for some to say that religion lays no part in their lives
and that they live good, moral and decent lives because they choose to
do so. The truth of the matter is that the majority of people with
European backgrounds have had centuries of religion pounded into them.
By that fact, anyone now is simply reacting off the virtues of his
forefathers in regards to autonomous goodness. If religion and its'
tenants faded for several ventruies, or abolished altogether for a long
while, eventually the moral climate would change. Natural law would also
change to suit the environment that people live in. What we consider
natural law, not to murder, some sort of fair monogamous.polygamous
relationships, not stealing from those who have nothing, would all go
down the tubes. If the world was overpopulated at that point, natural
law would revert ot kill off the lowest layers, get rid of the
slough...so don't think religion doesn't touch your life just because
you choose not to practice or accept..without it man would survive a
completely different existence.
