to me...religion has a different place than moral codes. they may authorize a particular morality, or justify one...
but there has to be something more there that just the law. Hammurabi gave laws...but nobody that i know is a Hammurabian. Make sense?
i need language to talk about life...and that's where religion really comes in. i think i would have an amorphous "faith" or spirituality...and always sort of did, even when i wasn't religious. religion is the process of having a story written on to your life, and then going back and using your life to re-write the story.
people don't really seem to do that with "morality" as such. my two cents.
