Are you saying that one criteria for superiority of a morality is how strong of an emotive impulse it can generate? With, ofcourse, the added qualification that not all strong emotive impulses are necessarily from morality - as is the case with many religious people?No, the reverse. I think that someone with a world view that is connected to deep emotions is likely to manifest that world view in actual behaviors, rather than lip service. And I think that the most emotional world views are usual founded in religious ideas.
The most highly moral people I've met have either had deep religious convictions, or a fascination with moral figures from ancient philosophy (like Socrates). But in the latter case, I'd say the world view approaches a religious one.
