This explains why morality is not the product of religion...not that I need to know that but for you and other cretins dwelling in this site it's something you oughta be told.
All over the globe, murder is bad. Why is that? It is definitely not because Allah told us so, Allah never told the Eskimos anything. How did the Eskimos come to the decision that murder and stealing are bad.

Papua, New Guineans don't seem to find it too objectionable. I don't believe religion was the sole "creator" of morality in humans, nor do I believe that that is the sole reason we find murder bad. But I DO believe it gave us a conscience, and it gives us faith and hope, and something to believe in. If we had nothing to believe in, life would lose it's lustre. And we'd lose a lot of hope in times of trouble. We NEED something omnipotent to believe in. It's just a necessity. NOT religious dogma, per se. But at least the fundamental belief in God. We need it. It's a good thing.
