I hear from so many people that youth need to respect older people cause they are smarter than youth people. Same goes to religion. It is strong assumption that being religious equals to be moral person therefore non religious people can learn how to do good deeds from religious people.

Again, I'd find new friends. Your old friends appear to be slightly hysterical and over reaching.
What a silly claim when Christians are some of the worst immoral people here?!!!!!!!!! Just look at the terrible intolerance, hatred, bigotry, homophobia and persecution posted by Christians towards others‽
Research shows that the reason humans struggle with emotion to find equitable solutions is pinpointed the region of the brain called the insular cortex, or insula, which is also the seat of emotional reactions.
The fact that the brain has such a robust response to unfairness shows that sensing unfairness is a basic evolved capacity.
The emotional response to unfairness pushes people from extreme inequity and drives them to be fair. This observation shows our basic impulse to be fair isn't a complicated thing that we learn.
It therefore fully illustrates that all humans have morals controlled by the brain and that Christians are entirely wrong to try and claim morals as their own!!!!
But Christians found a way round it!
Government statistics show that Christians are vastly over represented in prisons for sexual, violent and fraudulent crime whilst year on year government figures show atheists make up only 2% of the prison population!
The Catholic Church is paying millions in compensation for the sex/paedophile crimes of their priests alone!
Christians are vastly over represented in the divorce courts!
Christians invented the concept of sin and then the idea that you could sin, ask forgiveness, get pardoned and start with a clean sheet!
So no surprise that they are so expert at it is it‽
A Christian is a man that feels repentance on Sunday for what he did on Saturday and is going to do on Monday. - Thomas Russell Ybarra

With age comes experience, and with experience wisdom.
You should listen to wisdom.
You should have the intelligence to recognise when that wisdom is 1) valid. 2) relevant to your current situation. 3) will cause you to revise your plans.
As for religion and morality. If the religious are so moral, why are the prisons full of believers? There are atheists in prison, but at a much lower rate than the percentage of atheists in society.
If atheists are so immoral, why do we commit less crime?

You sure made that point loud and clear. The debate is over. You lose.
"It is strong assumption that being religious equals to be moral person therefore non religious people can learn how to do good deeds from religious people."
In addition to hopeless English skills, you're confused about all of this. Charles Colson told this great story, actually John Dean told it about Colson. Look them up. They were both in a minimum security prison and Colson "got religion," became an evangelist and decided to save the souls of the other prisoners, many of whom were mob guys being protected. One day Dean asked him how the conversions were coming along and Colson said something like: "Not too good. All these Mafia guys think they're good Catholics."
The point is that it is possible to be both religious and immoral. Religion teaches morality. It does not guarantee it.
Here is the other side of the coin. Dostoevsky, I'm sure you'll have to look him up, too, once said, "Without God all things are permissible." Yes an atheist can be moral, but without something to support the reasoning behind moral behavior, one atheist can be murdered by another and the perp believes he's done nothing wrong. After all, who says murder is wrong?
Rather than tackle the big questions, why not work on your English skills first?
there is nothing about religion that is moral, its all about hatred towards lgbt and practicing old outdated ways that illiterates used to practice 1000 of yrs ago what religious people call "tradition"
Since when DOES age DEFINE intelligence and religion DEFINE morality?
Old people aren't necessarily smarter than YOUNG people, but they've had a lot more life experiences and tend to KNOW more than young people. And religion doesn't necessarily define morality.
