If you can get people to believe a powerful being can see and judge them 24 hours a day, you can certainly exercise more control over them then leaving it to authorities with only human capabilities.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Last part of another useless article about another useless "study". Finally, and very importantly, the study suggests people didn’t behave morally out of a fear of facing eternal hell fire from a moralizing god.

“Instead, there is some evidence to suggest that routine rituals help bind people together,” said Skali. “That is a fascinating finding.” DUH.... No s**t Sherlock. Doesn't take much to fascinate that fool.
