re: How can people with morals survive in an immoral world?

Because by definition they don't believe in an afterlife, yet obey the law at a far greater rate than those who claim religion do.

you must not understand the idea of people being culturally Christian. In South Louisiana where I live, there are so many people who are living very immoral lives but their culture is Catholic. They baptize in the Church, they go to Mass on Christmas and Easter, and they call themselves Catholic, even though they don't really practice it.

Many people in this country are culturally Christian and there aren't many people who will admit to being an atheist. There are some people who are not very religious but if you asked them is there a God, or is there an after life they will say I'm not sure, or yes.
