does that make those that do not believe in God scott free to do whatever it is they want to do without any accountability. If I don't believe in God and his commandments, then I'm Okay to do whatever....right? It is only those that believe that think they are morally justified before God through Jesus, not for those who do not believe...

Wrong. All men are accountable to God. All men have a sense of right and wrong and all men fail to live up to what they know to be true. Therefore, all men need a Savior.
More than that, the bible teaches that all of creation speaks of God. That is, even if you never heard about Jesus or the bible, there is enough wonder and natural signs pointing to God that you know deep inside that there is a god. And if there is a god, then there is a sense of an accountability before God.

Not in America, the majority vote counts. If we vote to live by the commandments, then the commandments are law. The majority vote counts.
Whether the 25% believe or not, it doesn't change the fact that the majority voted one way.
God says it doesn't matter how all 100% believe, it is His way or the highway. That really should be "His way or the low-way."

You are held accountable for your actions through society.
Think about it. If you steal, does God strike you down?
No. The community that you live in holds you accountable.
How can you be truly moral if you are only doing so because you fear God or are only doing so because you expect a great reward when you die?

The belief in God is not the only source of ethical behavior. People who do not believe in God do not say "I'm okay to do whatever, right?".

Of course not. Everyone has a standard of morals. And what's to say that the people who don't believe in Christianity, which is what you've described, and not good people? Who are you to judge the rest of the world and their beliefs or lack thereof? To quote your God, "judge not lest you be judged."

The only thing you are SCOTT FREE to do is
CHOOSE who you will serve.
GOD or Satan.
Heaven or Hell?
Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at , but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent.
Acts 22:16 And now why tarriest thou, arise and be baptized and wash away thy sins calling on the name of the Lord.
Matthew 7:21 Not everyone that sayeth unto me LORD,LORD
shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, BUT he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

I don't believe in God.
If what you say is true, I have the right to kill you then?
Don't say no.
Because that's what you just said.
But I do see a lot of terrorists doing whatever in the so called the name of "God". I also saw a Christian serial killer, saying that "God" has told him that he needs some souls or something.
That's ironic.

I'm not sure I follow your logic. You may nor "sin" in you eyes, because you don't believe it exists. But, I can guarantee that the 75% that do believe would have laws and rules setup so you couldn't "do whatever", without justice against those rules. Sorry, majority rules.

Where are you getting your figures.
If your talking about the judgmental punishing christian God your figures are incorrect.
Only a small percentage of people believe in this made up God you are talking about.

Huh?
That makes no sense at all. You don't think that the only morality and accountability come from religion, do you? That's ridiculous.
