Can anyone give me a example of how religous moral is superior to secular morality

I think the morality of a person is based on the emotional motivation associated with their convictions. I don't think there's much about atheism that induces especially strong emotional motivations, but it's obvious that religion is capable of doing that. So I'd say the most moral people in existence are likely so because of their religious ideas.

However, I think on average, atheists have one less layer of justification to skew in their favor when they are going to do something that's obviously wrong. So I wouldn't give the point to religion overall-- only to those rare specimens.

I'm not sure what you are saying here. Are you saying that superiority of morality is determined by the strength of emotional motivations related to one's convictions or is it determined by the validity of those conviction? Ot are you saying something else altogether.

Purely by the emotivel strength, not at all by the validity. If I really thought the Flying Spaghetti Monster was going to reward me with an eternal buffet, that (almost for sure totally false) idea could lead to actual moral behavior.

That's not a claim that religious people overall are more moral; it just seems to me that some kind of symbology that you can visualize, combined with social conscience feelings like guilt, is more likely to inspire action than a less visualizable but maybe more truthful perspective.

I'd also say that I think for the same reasons that religious people are more likely to be mass murderers-- they have a confused sense of morality and a strong emotive impulse.
