    Do you have any concept of how integrated religion is in Japanese society? How it affects their culture and decision making? Your car is a Japanese import. just think about it for a moment. Christianity is not the only religion.

    Thomas Jefferson was a diest, not a Christian.
    You need to study your history, as you clearly have no concept of how we reached this point in time.

    You are a moron to believe that we would be 250 years old without religion. Your ignorance and hatred towards "God" blinds you to reality.
    But honestly, how does religion have to do with the things we build, invent, and discover? Religion is mainly just believing how we got here and why. Because I believe in god and have religious ways, is that the reason I do something great? ...... So if japanese people didnt have a religion we wouldnt have any cars from japan? This whole idea of religion makes us do this or that isn't a good topic to discuss IMO, because there is no proof that someones religion DIRECTLY is the reason they did something great.

    Belief and faith affects people's outlooks and decision, even if they do not always realize it. It can be for good or bad. Look at the Crusades - a very negative event that still affects our world centuries later. People do not sit down and say, "I'm going to invent something because of religion"; however, their environment always affects them, and religion is part of their environment. You cannot separate one part of someone's existence and still arrive at the sum of their life.
    Likewise, the denial of a specific existence has a similar affect, not to leave that out either.

    In specific answer to your exact questions:
    Believing or not believeing could affect your decisions, either negatively or positively, but either is likely to have some variation of impact on you, in varying amounts. You might do something great, or something terrible (or something not so much either way).
    Without religion, we might still have cars from Japan, but the conditions that they produce them could be drastically different in regards to work practices.
