I also agree with the point that religious approaches can maintain a source of power for the morality. As Sartre states, it is almost impossible to have objective, agreed-upon moral principles without a notion of God or Hereafter and other principles of religious teachings e.g "donot make any living creature suffer, since every living has a respectable soul". Sartre concludes: "life is meaningless" as a result of his Atheism.

I think that the idea of God, afterlife is very important for the happiness in the world. A religious philosopher depicts this in one of his works, a short part called "the second word" which is also available on the internet.
