Debate: Is it possible for man to live a moral life without religion? (view source)
Revision as of 07:01, December 7, 2010
, 07:01, December 7, 2010→Yes, it is possible
Religion, like all other such institutions (many of which are more relevant by now) is not responsible for morality. A cursory examination of the history of all religion, and an emphasis on the "big three" in particular make that observation an easy one to make. -JBall

Definitely. Saying that men can't be moral without religion would be like saying men can't be moral with religion as they are only moral out of a fear of divine retribution or reward. Either statement is absurd. While religion can definitely act as a source of inspiration, a system of morality and a system to reinforce adherence to morality, it's not a requirement. There are enough examples of non-religious moral people, non-religious immoral people, religious moral people and religious immoral people to prove that religion isn't the sole factor, but rather one of potentially many [[User:AdamV|AdamV]] 02:01, 7 December 2010 (EST)
