3 (Religion enhances morality)

I think that religion enhances morality because "religious faith has inspired some of the most altruistic behavior the world has ever seen." Religion inspires morality that without religion people would not ordinarily have. If religion did not exist, than people would not be as motivated to do good and be moral people with a set of ethics. Even if you don't believe in G-d, you can still believe that religion enhances morality. The social cues and many of our daily decisions are derived from a long time ago from our religious ancestors. With things like the Torah and the Bible, G-d shows us what is right and what is wrong. I think that religion enhances morality because people refer to religious traditions, not necessarily G-d, but religion as a whole to be better people. I personally do not particularly believe in G-d because I find no clear proof of him, but I still believe that religion amplifies and encourages humane people. Although people do great things without religious references and although there are immoral people who are religious, throughout history and ultimately religion does enhance morality. Some may argue that G-d as the divine one says what is good, and that is what makes us think it is good. However others say that G-d obeys and listens to what WE say is good, therefor in this case G-d whose role in morality is almost redundant. I believe that religion can enhance morality without going through G-d because not all traditions and beliefs within religions are based off of if G-d did this, or if G-d exists, or if G-d said this.
