An Athiest isn't automatically more morale than any religious person on the sole basis that they are being nice not because they want to escape hell, but because they are doing it from the goodness of there heart. I would say its irrelevant because a good deed is a good deed no matter who does it.

That doesn't explain much at all.
Especially for religions like to Jainism which doesn't believe in forced conversions or creator deities.

Dahon wrote:"Religion is an age-old field of imaginative speculation, utterly inseparable from storytelling and possibly even the creation of words, that purports to explain how things, people, places, et cetera, come to be. That some people make a point of worshipping their own words is a side effect, but not necessarily a harmful one. That some others claim such craft irrational -- well, I don't quite get it either."

People can create the heaven and hell they want, so long as they're aware that their heavens and hells are among the multitudes. I myself these days -- I'm more interested in the detritus of etymologies -- trying to ram in the pre-Lovecraft Nodens and Yakumo Yukari into a harmonious whole is proving fun. That, or I need more Highlander fare.
