Morality versus afterlife

[Brian37]

Most people just follow their hearts and heads and use religion to justify it.

However we are born with a conscience which can decide it ourselves so IDK

Part one, yes.

Part two, not exactly, at least not put that way.

Evolution produces a range of individuals, those who lean to more empathy and those who lean towards less or none. Humans use religion unfortunately to justify both cruelty and compassion. And the justifications for cruelty are often masked by religion as moral and virtue and from those who do that, from their point of view, they are not doing anything wrong. That is the poison religion creates in human thought. It isn't that you can force religion out of existence. But the lack of understanding that our behaviors don't come out of a book, but as individuals are coming from within. Once you set up an idea in the form of an impossible utopia  
in an imperfect messy reality, and sell it as fact and history even within the same ranks it causes different sects whom read the same words and come to different conclusions.
