Humans, religious or atheist, have morals: Human spirit compulsory to end immorality.

RELIGION -- it is a human belief and a divine relationship,

with the One who made the Universe, theEarth, and all of us.No onewantsthe results ofsin, but all are happy to participate in evil: Only a stronger belief and relation with God is absolutely necessary to live the right way. SOME individuals may still come up with what is moral and what is immoral, each with different versions.Ahighest authority like God may be an answer to unify a code of moral conduct universally.Another argument is that all morality is based on consequences.All things being equal, pleasure is betterthan pain, life is better than death, health is better than illness. The murder rate in Japan is one of the lowest in the world. That is not because everyone is Buddhist. In fact, most Japanese are not followers. Norway has very low rates of prisonersre-offending and that is not because there are more religious people there than America. It is because ofspecific policies. So religion is not the only force needed to make people moral and stop people committing bad acts, but it is still more effective one, if properly promoted and implemented. THERE are 2.5 billion non-religious people on Earth, and not all are immoral.In fact, most are moral. Morality comesfrom within which was/is established through societal interactions. As society grew and social interactions became more complex those that operated with morality were better able to coexist and thus thrive while others failed. IT'S said that religious people incite verbal quarrels and violent behavior, leading to permanent state of war without peace.If you are notreligious at all, it's not as if you don't have morals. That is not true at all...
