RELIGION AND ETHICS Overview Some claim morality requires religious faith Empirical evidence on links is mixed Philosophy examines how ethics might depend on religion Three Proposed Dependencies God as source of good (divine command theory) God as source of moral knowledge God as source of moral motivation Critiques Divine command: Good independent of God's will? Knowledge: Atheists can be moral, so not dependent Motivation: Many moral without afterlife beliefs Summary Arguments unsuccessful in making morality fully dependent Religion can support moral principles like justice and care Evidence is mixed on whether religious belief enhances morality In summary, claims that morality inherently requires religion face challenges. Whilereligion supports moral principles, ethics may not fully depend on religious belief.Evidence is inconclusive on whether religion enhances moral behavior. Document Outline
