Pete, I suspect the concept of right oe wrong is instilled in all of us as children, by our parents, siblings,friends, school and community. Institutions like religion may have been a factor in many cases in earlier years- but less so in the west more recently.

Personally, I do not see a reasonable relationship between a belief in religion, a lack of on and "doing the right thing" (whatever that is defined as being in various situations.I hardly think using an example of one person on mudcat is a good or reliable sample to base a conclusion on.

I would like to see some evidence (research) to back up your statement?Or, is it only "a hunch" from the position you sit?
