This is how our morals are able to evolve (for the most part) with the times. Babies are not born as theists, either. Religion has to be taught to them.

Ok, I see what your saying. You think society decides morals because it's moral or is it moral because society decided it's moral?

Thanks.

Here is some insight into moral development. Cultures decide morals more than society on the whole. The morals in the US are different from the morals in the UK, just as the morals in the UK are different from morals in Japan.
