It is very difficult to accept mortality if you don't believe in an afterlife. Religion brings comfort, and comfort improves mental health (at the cost of some delusion).
Not really. Altruism is ultimately self-serving whether an afterlife exists or not. People generally don't want to spend their life being wronged by others or have their life taken altogether, so we have a pretty good incentive to not do those things.
I'm not sure how that relates to what I said. Morality ≠ mortality.
Ooooh I 100% read "morality" lol, my bad
All good. Yeah I think morality is not really something religion helps with.
