I don't disagree with your final statement.
However, I'd simply offer that.....things like drugs, alcohol abuse, pornography, fidelity, integrity, altruism, and compassion are examples of lifestyle "choices," which can be influenced by whether or not one believes in something beyond oneself....or whether one believes that "this" is "it."
If you believe that "this" is "it," IMO it is much easier to choose to live selfishly....arrogantly....and without regard for what some higher power may expect of us.
Once again, JMHO.
