As for the lack of consequences, that's absolute baloney. Japan is less religious than most of Europe but has a lower crime rate.
And most atheists and agnostics don't go around murdering people as they fear no deity. You really have to up your intellectual game, old fruit.
You also said - "In the absence of evidence, folklore is down to interpretation..."
People who have honestly looked at the evidence and like yourself didn't want it to prove to be true - (Josh McDowell - "Evidence that demands a verdict" / The Case for Christ - Lee Strobel (also a book) - have found something very different.
So what sets your research apart and what is the best evidence you have that the Bible is insignificant re the plight of your soul?
