Absolutely.
I tend to be more responsible than when I was a believer as there is no 'crutch' or 'fallback' position.
When wrong, I apologize to the person, as praying won't mean anything.
When with people, I listen carefully and act exactly as I want things to turn out, as there won't be a 'second chance' or 'later meeting' in some otherworldly place.
With the planet, I take as good care of it as I can since it is all we have. There won't be any 'rapture' or 'rebirth' except in the sense that the earth will be cleansed of humans when we go extinct, so the environment might finally get a break.
Religion provides cop outs for cowards and suggestible people.

Yes. I was raised in the Catholic Church, and though I may not be the most religious person, I certainly do believe in God, and with this comes many morals that play a part in what I will or will not do.

Nope. My decisions/morals are influenced by a good upbringing, a strong sense of right and wrong, fear of shame/regret for doing something wrong, and a general need for approval and acceptance by my family and peers.

I used to be completely consumed by the "afterlife," and such-but now, I have left my religion and believe in no afterlife, so I'm living for the here and now. I used to be part of a Christian sect-SO much of Christianity encourages you to "suffer " "Suffer" and suffer more for the Good Life-I just don't believe it anymore though.
Once you die, you're worm food.
