Morality is something that we must have. To understand the things that we need to do and don’t
need to do. Knowing what is wrong and right this refers to what is seen right and acceptable by
society. The vast majority of people act decently and adhere to society norms.

According to some philosophers, religion cannot be the basis of morality. For example, the concept of
homosexuality or being gay and lesbian, according to some churches it is immoral. Do you agree? And
why?

Yes I agree that the religion is not the basis of morality. Because morality starts on us, on how we, the
person can be good to others, to know what is good and bad. We can learn this by our self without the
help of a religion. There are some instances that a person who is always go to the church every Sunday
but they still they do something bad to others. So that’s why religion is not the basis of morality, it’s
start within our self.
