If god dosent exist then whats even the point of doing anything? why not just become "Lol nothing really matters LMAO" Fedora wearing Nihilists like if Morals dont exist then whats even the point not to act like Barbarians?
Is a Religous Doctrine truly needed to uphold order in society?
Like even societies that attempted to build socialism like the USSR kept christian standards of morality?
Is the fact that Christian Morals permeate all christian/Post-Christian society long after Christianity itself has faded away proof of gods existence?

Nice spooks.
Because doing stuff makes me feel good.
Nothing really does matter. Fedoras can look good if you happen to be miachel corleone. We don't act like barbarians because it's harmful.
"Christian morals"

What if it doesn't tho?

I'm pretty sure this is impossible but…
I guess you'd give up on life and die because what is life without feeling good?
Or alternatively you could help other people feel good.

Let me give you the existentialist perspective : you could act like a barbarian if you really wanted to, but then you would need to take responsibility for the consequences of "acting like a barbarian", which could include spending the rest of your life in prison, among other things.
The question is rather : do you truly want to act like a barbarian?
It is a matter of opinion, but I think the West and Far-East Asia have done well without having a strong clergy during the last couple of centuries.
Personally, the problem of evil destroy the pretense of most Abrahamic religious denominations to hold the only true list of features God™ possess.
God is what created matter, the universe, life, consciousness, etc. from a human perspective, but I don't think we will ever truly understand what it is with the limited brains it gave us, just like dogs can't understand all the subtleties of human barking language.
Read Camus. The Fall is a neat little novel.

you're being crab-bucketed by tweens and tards
nihilism is The Truth
nihilism is emancipating
accept it so the ruling class doesn't have complete control over you [via hat shaming]

I forgot to add that the question of "Christian Morals" is not really about proving God's existence but rather of ethics and cultural practices.
All religious prescriptions can be defended as a practical ethical philosophy. It's just that "dude god said so in the Holy Book™ lmao" is a bad argument.

The roots of western culture lie in Christianity, the Greek philosophers, and capitalism.
All of these things have shaped western nations and still echo into our culture without people even realizing it
When you think about it liberalism is basically political Christianity. The so called sjw's remind me of the Inquisition trying to force their morality on others. Or the idea of "white privilege" is the same as original sin. Although the christian had the idea of redemption while the sjw's would rather you just keep hating yourself forever.
You can see the echo of Christianity in other things like "no fap", Christians told you you would grow hair on your palms if you did that shit.
Nietzsche said that Christianity had a slave morality (therefore it was weak)
He also declared god to be dead, and with that out of the way so is morality, which leads to nihilism, which leads to rick and morty fans rioting because of Chinese dipping sauce
Spirituality was important.
It gave purpose, reason, morality, meaning.
All of those things were lost when the west declared itself too cool for jebus.
So now we live in a world without meaning, were people fill that whole with endless consumerism, or ideology.
Were people develop what is called Anomie
which leads to you using casual sex to forget the pain or someone snapping and shooting a bunch of people.
the civilization we live in is very unnatural
