I'm sure, had there been no religion, morals of today would have been drastically different.

Not only that. According some scholars, without believing in fiction Homo Sapiens could not have become rulers of the Earth. The ability to believe in fictitious stories helped Homo Sapiens to gather in large numbers(over 200 individuals), and to defeat the Neanderthals, who were much stronger physically.

LOL ..snip.. They ceased as a group because the modern humans are better at hunting than them.

About morals; it wasn't directly derivated from adopting relegious beliefs, as the human being is a social creature who need to live in communities for several reasons, so need to establish a moral system for community management. We can observe this clearly with mammiferous amimals leaving in groups/communities like apes or lions or even lambs (also birds), those animals have morals or whatever you may call it but it can be defined as a conventional system to manage relationships between troop members, which is the same role of morals for human communities, without believing in supernatural powers.

Yes, religions helped human to overpass his fears and find a lot of answers when there was no science to explain everything. But I think it became a dangerous game when spreading the idea that God/religion resume morals which is definitely incorrect/inappropriate and has no logic explanation.

People needed morals to live together and spread their genes in a safe way, long time before believing of a god creator. (We all know that humans are much more older then gods and religions). And just think about prehistoric human who believes in some natural powers because he was afraid; at that time, humans lives in separate groups and small societies.
Religions added a lot of modifications to morals (positive and negative) but it's far from establishing its unique system as humans already had ones.

Hope you understand my point.
Sorry for the bad English 🙂

There seem to be at least some biological basis for reciprocity and fairness. I really laughed out loud at experiments on capuchins where one kept receiving cucumbers while the other receives grapes for the same exact task. The frustration is something most of us is familiar with.
