I assume you don't do these things now, why would you want to do these things if someone proved that God did not exist?

Well, the truth is, I'm lazy, so I wouldn't bother to change my behavior. But we're all lazy . . . and greedy. Rule #1 of human nature. But suppose you were brought up believing there were no consequences to your actions except those imposed by an arbitrary and capricious legal system.

We are not all lazy and greedy, not rule #1. If I was brought up that way, then that is how I would believe, (not unlike many throughout history), and accordingly, behave (or suffer the consequences). Legal systems do not require the presence of God, look at many ancient societies.
