Candidate section (not per field). It is not permitted to exceed the two sides of the candidate section.

Describe your real-life situation:

Eren is a turkish and gay person. And most of the muslims(believers) are excluding him and sometimes insulting him since
they think that Eren is sick and morally wrong. On the other hand, the non-believers are more soft and respectful than the
muslims.

State your central knowledge question (this must be expressed as a question):

To what extent does religion shape moral belief?

Explain the connection between your real-life situation and your knowledge question:
Every person has a different way of thinking. And because of that there are different types of moral beliefs. For example, a
muslim might think that being gay is an illness but a none believer might not. But which one is right? Or can we say that one
of them is absolutely right? In this presentation, the will I am following is analyzing the moral beliefs and understanding how
religions shape them.
