Accept religion is the lesser of two evils.

For when man is devoid of religion, the atheistic human is far worse
than one seeking spiritual guidance through man-made religion.

Religion delivers a set of prepackaged morals. We can only hope that
the religion has done a good job with gift wrapping those morals.

Humans need moral guidance or a moral conscience since they have a
'free will' of sorts.

Actually it is like this.

We are free to do what we want -- but are not free to want what we
want.

All our actions have consequences, and many of our actions produce
consequences that end up destroying peace. (both ours and other's
peace).

This is what separates us from the animals that run solely on
instinct.

Humans run by instinct as well as moral guidance. But their desire for
accepting morals on their own is low.

Whether this moral conscience in divinely inspired or from Nature I
don't know - that is why I am an agnostic.

"So many atheists?" What "so many atheists" are you talking about?

America is 86%% Christian and 4%% Atheist. Did you mistakenly think that made
you significant?
