Here is how I would do it: If there is no God than we are free to do what we want as long as it doesn’t harm people. Also, if someone needs the fear of eternal punishment to be a good person they are not a good person.

The “without god there is no morality” argument is actually saying that without God, humans decide what is morally right and wrong, creating a false morality.

I don’t think the world would be better without religion

Dogma for the sake of dogma doesn't seem like a good idea to me.

What does that mean?

Religion is no guarantee of morality

Religion doesn’t really change someone’s morals. It’s just a way of teaching morals. However religion gives people hope when they are going through something hard, hope that can carry someone forwards. Sure, religion has been used to harm others but those kinds of people will always find an excuse.

But religion itself is used to control & exploit people just for one thing.

If people didn't have religion for an artificial crutch they would be forced to deal with things head-on & not hide for another.

I dont know if you think Climate Change is real or is not real, but religions are a hugh impediment to it being dealt with.
