[quote=Anonymous]Morality has nothing to do with any particular religion.  If it did, then the same concepts would not span pan-religions and every member of each religion, or perhaps each denomination would be more synonymous.  However, you can have five people in the same religion, same denomination, even the same church who have different interpretations of morality.  Likewise, you can easily have two people are in different churches, different denominations and perhaps even different religions who have very similar senses of morality.

Morality is individual and independent of religion.  Each individual may take some of their moral code from common tenets in their religion, but each and every individual has their own moral code which they follow.  Some of that code is inate, some are indoctrinated by the society in which they live (some societies are more ecumenical, some are more accepting, some are more righteous about certain beliefs, etc) some are counseled or prescribed by their church and some are adapted from teachings learned by the individual.  Aetheists are influenced by all of the above except for that prescribed by an organized religion.
