Essay As in almost every society across this great world, there will usually be large groups of people who

believe in the same sets of morals. Most typically, in these societies morals are a sort of deep cultural, religious, or of spiritual meaning. This means that of course under the first amendment, there will be people who have a lack of religion, but yet they still have some sort of morals. While it is deeply spiritual and religious to have morals it does not mean that only religious people have these morals even nonreligious people can believe in the same set of morality or even greater when compared to religious thinkers. [2] By definition morals is a knowing of right from wrong, or much better yet having ethics. Morals is actually something that is hardwired into our brains to figure out whether or not someone is doing something wrong, and so you will naturally react. You can only react because you were programmed to believe what goes for or against you morally. A study was conducted to monitor the brains of the people who were asked to think about doing something good, like doing a charity, donating money etc. What happened is that it seemed that when you thought of doing charity, a part of your brain would light up, that would normally light up during pleasurable experiences like when eating food or having sex. [3] There seems to be a misunderstanding in a concept that states that while religious people tend to seem to do more charity work than their non religious counterparts, it would mean that they dont have any sense of morality, of course this is a completely false statement. A study was conducted that stated that atheists, just like regular people were susceptible to the unconscious God Effect The god effect is another study that deals with brains workings on religious experiences etc. In an another test it revealed a comparable legal institutions effect, in which participants from a third group proved to be as generous as the religious group. Some other studies have suggested that under any types of conditions that would remove anonymity, it would actually improve that said persons generosity. [4] Religous morality has cause more of a gap between non religious people and religious people because of bitter distrust in each other. This unfortunate distrust in atheists had caused many issues in the law and government, for example in some states nonreligous people are unable to hold office, just for their disbelief in religion. Another example of political leaders distrust of nonreligious people can be cited from John Locke who did not even should be trusted in office. Every society, whether you are in the most religious zone of Saudi Arabia, there will still be atheists or non religious people who will hid from being prosecuted. While Atheism and almost every religion may disagree in many areas, there is one area that is a grey spot and that is morality, and whether or not you believe in a god or many gods, you are still capable of having morality.

The problem with morals is the simple reason is that they are mostly subjected, and that almost every two people have different sets of morals that they choose to live by. I have always believed that morals are a deeply personal belief systems that are yours and yours only. The problem is, is when someone pushes their moral convictions onto someone else especially when they dont want them to be pushed, you start to see retaliation. This is almost evident when i hear anti-anything remarks, the problem is, is that these people who say these antiremarks are mostly against the other persons system of government or way of life. So the best way to all get along is to tolerate everyone else's belief systems even if you dont like them.
