Are religious people more moral?
-
Life is so short while Love can be so deep. It hurts to think that once there is Death, there is Nothing - not our partners, not our children, not our friends, not our relatives, not even ourselves.
Religion gives one a chance to feel or believe that there is something after Death. If we did not fear Death, then the concept of Religion would not have been born.
Is it moral to believe in Religion? Not when it leads one to act and live differently to the potential detriment of not only others, but to oneself as well.
Religious people are not more moral, as otherwise they could potentially have lived more free to be themselves, be more compassionate, and achieve more in every aspect of Life.

In my experience, religious people are on average less moral. Especially Christians.

No. I had a religious straight married buddy at work who always thought he was superior to everyone.
Years later I found out from a friend he got caught with bestiality porn so his wife left him.

I have found that religious people are LESS moral.. because they tend to be HYPOCRITES!
For instance.. you have two men..
both of them get drunk..
one of them is a construction worker wearing a "Drink Budweiser" shirt,
the other is a priest who preaches that getting drunk is a sinwhich one is behaving less moral?
