Exactly

..what's your point? You don't need religion for "discovering your own moral compass" either.

No but religion was the first ideal to control the general consensus through the division of good and evil... Thus showing people right from wrong...

religion is the opium of the masses. Addictive and with the right amount of supply and demand it is made to control the sheeple

So, tomorrow, if you found out that there was no god(s), that religion is completely false in every way, would you just lose all morality?

Real or not it's the whip that keeps people in line...

Historically, yes. But I think a society could handle itself without a religion.
