Are you elevating yourself to be the spokes-person for the disbelief
system of atheism? That's like aspiring to be the commander of a herd of
cats.
Also, you intimate, that children only behave themselves when watched
and judged by "higher authority", rather because they love their parents,
like we love our Father which is in heaven. You will find that love is the
most potent motivator for good known to man. Love is far more effective
than
threat of punishment.
