I rather would say............Religious theists are more likely to believe in an objective morality that exists external to themselves..........
Interesting. So are you saying that theists who are not part of a religion are less likely to believe in an objective morality?
Could the religious theists therefore be having a morality imposed upon them by organised religion?
The main bulk of a religious theist morality come from their religion so that is an external approach.
I say the main part because a little bit may also come from internal feeling.
Theists who follow spirituality instead follow the opposite which means that the main bulk come from within and in small small part from outside which is the guru teachings.
In fact spirituality is 99% or so practice and 1% or less theory while in religion practice most time equal to asking God for something which of course lead nowhere.
The difference is enormous that is why you should know what is the difference between religion and spirituality in order to make the correct judgement.
