On "Eli Stone" and Atheism - Nothing to See Here

Precisely. :) I think there's a lot of people out there who while they inherently understand that things are bad don't really feel any remorse about the little stuff and are only held back by that inherent feeling of right/wrong for REALLY bad things and either do all the little bad things or only don't do them because of fear of heck. Maybe we're lucky so many people are religious. =)

As mentioned, though, I don't think religion means you're likely to be less principled--just that lack of religion doesn't mean you'll be less principled either!
