Religion as the Foundation of Morality

Religious people worry that without their religion, there would be no foundation for morality. What is the morality their religions teach?

• Other people’s birth control is more your business than theirs.
• What other people do in bed is more your business than theirs.
• You, as a believer, count as a full human. Others do not. Your god will torment them for eternity for choosing the wrong form of worship. You should make their lives as miserable as possible in anticipation.
• Your god wants you to kill gays and many others.
• It is your job to kill or make unmarried mothers as miserable as possible.
• Eating shrimp is very very wicked.
• You must keep people alive as long as possible, even against their will because your god enjoys their suffering. Pain is Jesus’ kisses.
• You have the right to take other people’s real estate if your god promised it to early adopters of your religion.
• Women and children are chattels who need to be beaten.
• It was a mistake to repeal slavery.
