As a nonreligious person, where do you get your moral guidance?

[Gentle_Idiot]

I like that idea. But do you believe some religions are better than others when it comes to having a better moral system?

I think Ahriman is right here, though perhaps in an indirect way.

So for example MY morality didn't come from religion, because I've never been to church, and didn't start reading about religion until well into my 30s. Safe to say my morality was pretty much set by that time.

But history didn't start with my parents. If we're of European descent, the culture we live in was shaped, like it or not, by Christianity. We may have shed the religious justifications, but a lot of our morality is directly descended from religion. 

Many atheists reproduce a specifically Protestant view of society, how it should progress, what responsibilities we have, etc.

As for whether one religion's moral system is better than another's: that's a tricky question, because we are always judging "better" based on our own set of values. That other religion can just as easily judge us.

It breaks my heart to retype this. For some reason, this forum "ate" my typed post and I can't recover it. But here we go again.

I remember reading a scholar who spoke of Nietzsche's Ubermensch, and that ultimately, the best gauge of the greatness of a moral system is whether or not it is "life-affirming". Essentially, you want a moral system that promotes and strengthens the flourishing of the human race and allows it to evolve into a better ape.

I think that to a huge extent, all world religions aim for that life-affirming ideal.
