Sure, I don’t think my point suggested otherwise. I said people are wired to worship something, so if it’s not God it will be something else. 

Finding purpose outside of God, does not change the fact that life is basically meaningless if we all just become worm food when we die as atheists believe. Hedonism is the natural conclusion of that worldview imo. Of course many ppl live by some of the wisdom passed down in the bible (as long as it fits their preferences) without acknowledging that fact either purposely or because of ignorance.
