Did it ever occur to you that religions got their morals from
society, and not the other way around?
Every other social animal in the world has an innate sense of how to
recognize their own and how to deal with them. Why would people be any
different?
Have you ever noticed that by and large, people are the same all
around the world? Customs may differ, but societal norms are
remarkably similar. It is a very self-serving attitude of religions to
claim that morals are handed down from On High, with Religion X as the
only way to really get the inside scoop on how we are supposed to
behave.
