One theory mother brought up in the car one day was: If we all die and fade away forever, never to exist again, then why don't we all consider sin as much equal as goodwill and become a combination of both, if we know it won't affect us when we die?

It's either the fear of the possibility of it being real heaven and hell similar to "Pascal's Wager." Or there is the whole theory that we do have some form of morality that goes beyond religion, etc. that is all human beings. Ideas like Karma, etc. Some of the ideas of religion in purest form are great like the essential "goodness" of people and to take care of others and the earth leaving it better than you found it. Even if these are only sometimes implied.
