If there is no God, no heaven, no hell, there simply is no persuasive reason to be moral.
Or immoral as well dont you think?

It’s really very simple.
There is a God.
There are rules.
There are consequences if you do not follow the rules.

I guess, since it is marked “Catholic Caucus,” a Calvinist such as myself should not post in this thread.

The fewness of the saved is a long established doctrine of the Catholic Faith. Not defined ex cathedra as far as I know (likely because it was so commonly understood in the past that it never needed to be defined). Alas, we are in need of such definitions now- but the one thing the modernist heresy is very strict on is that nothing anywhere is to ever be clearly defined.

Anytime someone starts a sentence with “I like to think...” I immediately assume they are more interested in make believe than fact.

Go with the universal salvation folks and God appears unjust. Go with the traditional few saved folks and God appears unmerciful.
Create billions of souls with free will and original sin. When the vast majority end up in Hell for eternity that's not on God because they all misused their free will.
Then you end up with all the theories about levels of Hell. So, for example, if a Uighur stays true to his faith despite having his family slain and him being tortured to death by the Chicoms he gets to end up in a less hellish part of Hell because he died outside the Church but was true to his heretical beliefs.

There once was a Senator, Ted,
Who had a habit of driving girls dead.
When asked why this was
He could point to no cause.
As for him, he would rather be Red.

My former Jesuit Priest explained that they think at the end of time, the Lord will empty out hell and bring all souls into his kingdom.
Fr. Altier called this B.S.

If hell were empty, why would Jesus care so much about saving people from it? He died on the cross, because he really really didn’t want people to go to hell. That’s why, despite the popes preferences, the dogma of hell remains.

If Hell was empty Pope, where would all the die hard Democrats go?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Well according to the born again folks EVERYBODY goes to Hell except themselves, so if true there are countless souls falling into the abyss of fire every single minute! Therefore the Pope will have plenty of company down there!

Does anybody need a reason to be immoral?
Yup! Assuming that you are a (sane) human...you have four uniquely human endowments. The first in this case is Conscience. The other three are Creative Imagination, Self Awareness, and Independent Will. Does that answer your question?
To: know.your.why
Well those are reasons to be moral. What are the reasons to be immoral?

Mary told the children at Fatima that the LEAST amount of people went to HEAVEN.....more went to HELL and PURGATORY.
