Some people see religion as a moral compass that can be used through a person's life to judge one's actions, although religion is by no means necessary to form a system of morality. There is no evidence to show that people without a religion are any more likely to commit crimes.

Humans don't "need" to believe in a religion, but human brains are highly adept at identifying patterns, and this predisposes humans to religious belief.
