Can a society operate without a sense of right and wrong?

Of course it can operate without morals. It would be a savage place, but the strongest and most self concerned would survive. Much like the animal kingdom. It is devoid of "morals" as we understand them, but it still functions. Morals are a privilege that humans have obtained, not a necessity.

 That's right, it did survive before religions, like you said savage... but animals are savage to live, they don't know greed, and hate and wantonness,like we do. If you think it would be anything like living with animals, your sadly mistaken. Imagine the worst prison, in the world to be in then multiply it all over the world, that would be more like it, there would be good people, but they would have to fight for their lives.

No. Moral laws are basic and essential to the survival of any creature: In this case, Mankind itself.

NO! Without a moral code the country would fall into chaos. Murder, theft and other crimes would be on the rampage. Leaders without moral would be corrupt and seek their own purposes. Citizens could plunder one another and who would stop them.

 There could still be laws, and people would fear prison.

No because people would do stupid things, even more so than now.
