Well put by Maher.

From the comments of this link I thought another interesting argument:

Organized religions, mostly if not all of them, hold that morality was given to people by one or more higher beings. But if there are no higher beings, then people invented them for their value as authority figures, invented myths around them to explain their relationship with people, invented moral codes, & naturally chose to identify all three together as the most effective way to manipulate other people. It's SO natural a process, it happened again & again & again & again in course of people organizing themselves into societies, small & large - & indeed still happens. But there's no logical necessity to the inter-relationship; people, especially those who live in a democratic society with a code-making apparatus that responds to their needs & desires, are increasingly capable of coming up with moral codes without having to resort to mythology. As we tend more towards democratic societies with more responsive means of making codes of behavior, naturally the perceived need for such myths tends to fall down.
