“He,and all those with leadership positions who propose a G-dless world are well known by all.”

You live in a dream world if you think most criminals have heard of hawking. In fact I’d wager that there are far more criminals who profess to believe in God than there are criminals who are atheists .

As DY points out “We all know that some of the biggest atrocities have been committed in the name of G-d”

which is of course true (except for the “We all know” part).
Though “but without belief in Him, there’s nothing compelling morality.”
Histroy has proven that even with belief in Him there is nothing compelling morality either. and even without beleif in him social norms a desire to protect yourself ie. even if there is no afterlife r”l we are all better off if we all agree not to kill /steal/hurt each other.

If I am wrong, I would love to see any evidence demonstrating increased lawlessness that in any way correlates with lack of belief in a Borei Olam.
