Try driving to work in a science car.
Would work fine, as long as you were happy with the car being a solid frictionless sphere travelling through a vacuum with an unspecified force giving you a constant acceleration a.Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth
Jon Miller: MikeH is a shockingly revolting dolt and a masturbatory urine-reeking sideshow freak whose word is as valuable as an aging cow paddy.

Human spaceflight is an engineering/technology achievement, but it is also an achievement of industrial organization. Up to this point, human spaceflight has required armies of tens of thousands scattered across continents in order to make it happen.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
