When the lights go out and there is no longer any reason to fear police, what will atheists do? What will they not do? What is the rational reason to not take what you want, kill those who try to prevent, and otherwise just do anything that comes to mind?

I don't know, maybe a basic inborn sense of morality?
Gee, what happened in godless New York City when all the lights were out for a few days a while back? Things were pretty quiet, people helped each other out and there was very little trouble.
Karma.
It's funny how most of the survivalists you see out there are very radical Christians as well as the sort of people who'd jack you up without a second thought for a bag of powdered eggs. I mean, there are a few atheists who are professed gun nuts (Eric Raymond is vocally so), but generally most of them don't strike me as being quite as nuts as the right-wing survivalists.
Fore some reason, I can more easily picture fundies going mad and killing a lot of people if law enforcement ever ceased to exist. Think of all the gays, abortion doctors and non believers and what you could do to them...!
@AriseNow: "didaskalos <- You are hardly a "teacher". I wonder, how can you know Greek and still be this stupid?"all the great apes, I would hope!
Understanding of the dynamics and benefits of a peaceful society? Sorry, too many big words, you're right, the big bad atheists will just eat your babies for fun.
“When the lights go out and there is no longer any reason to fear police,”
“what will atheists do?”
“What will they not do?”
“What is the rational reason to not take what you want, kill those who try to prevent, and otherwise just do anything that comes to mind?”
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
