When I say "morality", I'm not just refering to christian morality. There are moralities from Asia, Northern Europe, and Africa that developed independantly of Christian morals. The intersting part is 1.despite the fact that the moralities developed far away from each other, they share commonalities that are too bold to ignore. 2. While many do not agree, the idea of a supreme creator was a focul point to almost every developing civilization in history. Atheism is much more recent than religion. That means that each civilization came up with the explaination of a superrior being, a creator (and maintainer, if you will) that deserves worship, praise, and focus.
Putting 1 and 2 together is what my post is about in my mind. Is it possible that religion and morality are inate? Is it possible that the reason that such complex ideas developed in every civilization becuase of God (or a god)?
