Empathy is an evolved trait

It helps to work together as a group

Why would you act decently and not selfishly if you lack the morals and purpose which religion gives you?

If there is no Universal force that judges you or rather that define the morał axis then morality become arbitrary and can simply become a tool to justofy anything. Religion mandatem a common morał code an ethical code that is agreed upon and derived from the concept of God. Can a non religious person be good morally, only insofar as they under stand what having objective morals mandates. And morality is objective. An example of why the concept of God is necessary is because on a jbp video we See often, vegans as well define morality based on sufdering when sufdering is not a good measurement for morality as thenhedonism and selfishness are absolutely okay. It removes any sort of more esoteric or i direct question you can pose with morality and allows for shifting the definitions of tjings to become arbitrary.

yes

those who have religions are expected to have morals

but anyone can have morals

because, uh

everyone has empathy

every religion has relatively similar morals in many areas

Which were derived from the basics of empathy

I mean, either that or there's some universal god which gave us said base morals

In which case, deism is really the only logical religion

@Bogatyr Bogumir interesting perspective. Are you a deontologist? Do morals have goal for you?

@Alice Redacted deism is not a religion, just a position on the god question I would think

@Victor Von Doom because it is the right thing to do.

Could someone come to the same morals religion gives you on their own, without the religion?

a way to decide moral rules without a god, just logic+knowledge

@Abiss No, you cannot be moral without God.

That’s the claim, can you demonstrate?

All morals derive from God, more than not a Godless moral society has had a religion in it's past or knowledge of one well enough to know it's moral code.

To prove that religion is not needed for morality, you'd need to take religion and all knowledge/memory of it out of the equation. Rejection of religion is still acknowledgment of it.

And to do so is virtually impossible in the modern world.

@Abiss

That’s a good argument that it is unlikely for a species to develop morals without also developing religion along side it (the details of how they relate over said time could potentially vary quite a bit). It says nothing about being able to have morals without god.

Do you mean:
-you cannot be moral without the existence of god to create morality
Or
-morality cannot develop without the idea of god
?

Both.

Islam best

- Do we have free will? Or is everything predetermined by God? Or a mix of both?

no free will

both

Mix of both

God is gay.

We have free will

but there is still fate

@Koninos stop calling urself God that's heretic

Individual free will is the will of god, everybody's path is decided by themselves through god.

God doesnt directly determine u to hell
