Answer:
Many people are so consumed by their religion that they feel that if you don't believe in god, you won't have good moral standards. Answer: Historically, America has based its culture and political beliefs on a judeo-christian platform of ethics.

Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.
~ Albert Einstein Many people fall into Einstein's "poor way" and assume every one else is as well.
