The Relationship between Religion and Morality Compared with Moral Secularism;(Concerning the Principal Methods of Moral Education)

Since the Renaissance and simultaneously with crack which appeared into the body of religion, this question has been raised: is it possible to be morally good without religion God? In fact, the aim of this question is to investigate the origin of the relationship between religion and morality. Therefore, the question raised about it is concerned with the quality of the relationship between the two. Religion and morality are inseparable. Ethical propositions are, for the most part, either natural or rational, but they are in need of religion all the time. Confirmation, development, limitation, motivation, encouragement and ensuring adherence to moral standards on the part of religion are some of the instances of morality’s need for religion. Religious morals are in need of education. Different methods can be used for providing people with moral education in relation to attitude, tendency and interaction. Contrarily, the secular view calls for the separation between morality and religion and does not accept such a thing like man’s spiritual perfection, believes in the kind of ethics brings about the material welfare and rejects the interference of religion in world affairs. This thought is founded on materialistic ontology.
