Does religion corrupt morality?

[Pyrrho]

Pyrrho, do you think I'm a bad person?

Of course you aren't, most Christians are decent people, that is the scary part. The reason religion make people less moral is because it replaces reasoned responses with "God said so". For example in the case of gay marriage, most atheists come to the reasoned conclusion that what two consenting adults do in the bedroom is no ones business and that to deny them marriage is unfair. The argument we have been dealing with from the side that wants to keep it illegal is " God said homosexulity is wrong" and when ask why its wrong, well just look at this forum as morality has done to death here.

So you believe a decent person knowingly and voluntarily donates money to an organization that protects child molesters and enables them to molest more children?  And you believe a decent person knowingly and voluntarily donates money to an organization that causes AIDS and other venereal diseases to be more widespread than they would otherwise be, due to opposition to condom use?  And you believe that a decent person knowingly and willingly donates money to an organization that condemns many poor people to greater poverty by denying them access to birth control, thus causing them to have more children than they can afford to properly care for?

These are questions, but I am interested in how you can reconcile such things.  Perhaps you are using the word "decent" in a nonstandard way?
