Well, there would simply not be any reason to adhere to any morals anymore.
Religion is not the reason for morals any more than frogs are the reason for light bulbs. People seem to think that the bible somehow bestows upon them the unique quality of morality. The truth is Atheists are no less moral than any religious group (and a hell of a lot more moral than most).

But don't worry... if religion is ever suddenly removed, we Atheists would be more than happy to teach you how to be moral without a book.
