Can you source a quote from any atheist that says that religion is important to establishing a strong moral code?
And to answer your first question, all of them. Concepts like “its wrong to murder someone” existed well before Judaism.
And then we had a constitutional convention that determined state run churches and the co-mingling of religion and government was so bad we literally made it the very first thing we addressed in the bill of rights.
