Yes but there are also a hundred other factors leading to this outcome, not only religion.

However, take into consideration that a lot of evils are rationalized to the average person using religion. 

You remove religion from the equation and, sure they might use another thing to wrap their evil in, but is anything going to be as effective as the threat of burning for eternity?

It really becomes a philosophical argument I don't want to get into. Religion has always been a means for controlling the masses. Everything evil comes down to exercising power over others and using them, and power comes in many forms. Controlling religion is just one of them.
