Ok ok, here is the point that I ponder often ... and you folks can help me ... If a group of people, are raised by personal faiths (no specific faith or even no faith) but raised with the concept ..
"Thy shalt not steal", "Thy shalt not kill"

is that group, more or less likely to do such acts ...? I pose it as a question. It is a good question because if the answer is yes than any general belief in a non law based morality is good for any nation. If the answer is no , then no framework whatever will lessen the number of laws or crimes against others in the society.
