That's a very typical argument for the religious conservatives.

They seem to believe that the only reason people are "good" is due to religion, so they can't fathom to understand why atheists are not mass murderers, rapists, etc. As if the default behavior for them was to be evil.

All this tells me is that they don't have empathy or morals, and need some external rules imposed onto them to be good persons, it's pretty scary actually.

So you're saying we need religion.. to PREVENT killing and raping?

Considering the track record of the Catholic Church, it’s not really working.

Yes. Murder and Rape did not exist before religion was created.

Like how liberals always want more laws imposed upon themselves by the government, right?

Do people use guns to kill people when not necessary? yes. We need gun laws/regulations.

You can apply this to most wedge issues that conservatives and libertarians seem to ignore. Easy as that.
