I don't know why I need to include stats/info from other religions in this paper. The caveat is that in the western world, the Christian religion is the most well known.
Could you explain how I was being superfluous? Also note that this paper was handed in a long time ago, I was more interested in thoughts on content.
As for your point about modern christianity, I don't see how that is not a variation of punishment/reward.
I'm also wondering how the evolution
Could you expound on what you mean to say by "Evolution of animalistic tendencies for survival"? I don't know that that would ever "evolve..." if it wasn't present then animals wouldn't exist? So I guess technically it has to be there but it doesn't figure in.
As well, what exactly are you talking about regarding utilitariansim, the categorical imperative, or peer? How would they ever contribute to the foundation of morals?
On that point, could you give me one example of where the church/religion has actually advanced human morals? It seems to me that it is always following in the footsteps of what is accepted by society.
