Hrae's moral beliefs look a lot like what is in the Bible. Treat others like how you would like to be treated.

If we really want to shed off religion in all its forms should we not also shed off the moral beliefs that stem from them?

We aren't born with a moral compass but are taught what is right and wrong by those around us. Your own moral compass is influenced by your parents, grandparents, friends, and the society around you.

Thus why there is still hatred, bigotry, and intolerance.

Morality is not a genetic trait that can be changed, but is a societal constraint.

thus why in some parts in the world and in some times in history things like slavery, murder, human sacrifice, rape, and many other activities now considered morally wrong were common and accepted.

Is that a slight revision of opinion?


Because they don't seem to mesh in my head.
