Today some people argue that there are thousands of people who act morally and ethically and that is not part religious practices.** I believe that religion taught humankind morality **so they act morally and ethically even today. Today you may claim that people act morally and ethically without being religious but all this is because religion has/had been teaching human being morality for years.

Before you claim that morality was/is possible without religion, answer the following statement.
You pass by a small child drowning in a shallow pond and you are the only one around. If you pick up the child, she will survive and your pants will be ruined.

If you choose to save that child, justify why?

p.s. Answer to the point.

No where i implied athiests are immoral, rather i said people(religious and non-religious) act morally cuz of religious moral teaching prevailing in our society.

In post 1, there is an implication that religion is a pre-requisite to morality. Thus one can reasonably conclude if one is not religious, one is immoral.

I think I am having genuine difficulty in understanding your position. So I will respectfully withdraw from this discussion.
