How would animals have morals if that was the case? Why would they have a sense of fairness baked into them if it came from a religion they couldn’t possibly comprehend?
The reality is that morality as we perceive it, is mostly just the natural rules that let us work together. This little known scientific concept called ‘apes strong together’, meant that the people who possessed a basic sense of morality could work with others and accomplish more, then those without it, and those without it, died off.
That’s all morality is. It has nothing do with any magical creature.
You are actually agreeing with my point. Religion is being used for morals by the ruling class:v so it is a foundation for society and morals. Morals are not good or evil they are norms accepted by the ruling class or biggest group in society.
Objectively false my friend.

Empathy is luxury. If you don’t have food you will not care. Morals is the thing that stops you.
If religion is what stops you from doing bad things, please don’t ever give it up.
In my hitchsperience “it takes religion for a decent human to commit atrocities”.
I like how a comment about religion being the foundation of morality historically - makes people believe that I am bashing atheist people
People just like to “correct” others…
For instance I think religion is historically the foundation of immorality. A practice used to exclude, hate, opress, kill and worse.
If god told you to go and kill a child, would you do it ?(1 Samuel 15:3)
Power corrups. Religion is power so it is corrupt by default.
Witch hunting was done by the people, not power hoarders, and I’m pretty sure that was plain out evil with the excuse of religion.
