@DF, Yes, of course I’m talking about the Judaeo-Christian religions.
saying that religion is a way to teach moral it is a stretch
A stretch? Where else are you going to learn about moral values but religion or family?
Adultery is certainly immoral, even if widely practiced, but its not against any law I know of in the US. There are other examples.
Most people follow moral behavior because they were tought that was the correct behavior, not because they are threatened punishment in the afterlife.
We are not born with moral behavior, it is not instinctive. You have to learn it somewhere. Not all people are capable of learning what is moral and right and what is not without outside help. Just look at what monsters many children are, even into high school. Why do you think many of today’s college kinds follow that leftist crap? Its because they didn’t learn better earlier in life.
