If psychopaths really can't understand why/how to be good without God maybe they need the simplistic carrot-and-stick of religious morality.

Could a psychopath use reason alone to tell right from wrong?

Yes but they wouldn't care. It wouldn't make sense to them that they should care. Pretending to is as useful

I follow a sociopath on Twitter who mostly obeys the moral codes without feeling it in her heart.

Yes, most do. But extremely destructive in personal lives & work w/out doing anything illegal or unprofessional.

I worked with 2 in a care home but they also had low IQs. This prevented them from learning what they were expected to do.

They'd have coped alone if only had one problem or other but with both, they were in danger of getting beaten up constantly.

They had no sadistic impulses but just couldn't see why they shouldn't just take what they want, push ppl out of way etc

Charged with rape at 16 - insufficient evidence. Then he learnt. Law-abiding, successful, superficially charming, empty.

If killing someone would benefit him & he cld be sure of getting away with it, he'd do it.
