    I honestly still just feel like we’re agreeing on the order of things here though. Premoral behaviours develop naturally, become ingrained, and then get written into religions or spirituality to give them even more weight – sort of like how a lot of myths about evil water spirits supposedly being warnings to children to not play near water cos they’ll drown.

    Just to clarify, when I say “written into” I’m not necessarily meaning physically written down. I mean more like “built into”.

    I don’t think we’re disagreeing here, right?

      I don’t know enough about your though process to say we agree or disagree, but it seems we aren’t in disagreement.

      You’re agreeing on the order. The difference is he’s trying to stuff his religious beliefs into a process that doesn’t need it.

        I am not religious, and you are a bigot for assuming so. Not everyone who talks about religion is religious.
