Existence of God is needed even to establish Pravrutti through creating fear for hell.
many people believe in god but not hell...even so the fear of hell does not make a person anymore moral than they were raised to be.

who says we do not have basis for justice? There is mutual benefit to ensure justice, why is a supernatural entity needed to recognize this?

as for anyone, but atheists are less likely to do so....statistically.

When you are provoked to do injustice, at least the concept of hell and God will control you to certain extent.
prove it.
1. The majority of Americans (85%) have a stated religious preference.
2. The majority of American prisoners (between 80 and 100%, depending on the study consulted) also have a stated religious preference.
3. A disproportionately high number of prisoners were not in any way practicing religionists prior to incarceration. That is, they exhibited none of the standard sociological measures of religiosity, such as regular prayer, scripture study, and attendance at worship services.
Quote: At least the percentage of people committing sins will be reduced. Of course, the concept of God and hell is not bringing the percentage to Zero, but if that concept is totally absent, by one day or other the percentage will be hundred. [/COLOR][/B]
For this point only, God comes down to establish His existence and there by create the fear for hell so that at least the percentage of sin and injustice comes to a minimum level, though complete eradication is impossible. God is not at all bothered to establish Himself for the sake of Nivrutti. If the society runs completely on justice, He will not mind even if all the human beings are atheists.
If the only thing that prevents you from murdering your enemies is fear of hell then i pity you.
