[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most people don’t know how to teach morality without religion. [/quote]

That's because there is no morality without religion.[/quote]

Then how can my 1st grader have such a strong sense of morality even though she has not been taught any religious dogma? Her morals also do not align with any certain religious sect.[/quote]

Actually her morals align with most religious traditions.
1)Play fair 
2) Don’t hit people 
3) Say sorry when you hurt someone.
4) Don’t take things that aren’t yours.
5) Sharing is loving.

She learned all this and more from her teachers in kindergarten.[/quote]

Do the morals align with most religious traditions, or the other way around?

Because there are PLENTY of immoral rules in most holy books, and PLENTY of immoral things done in the name of religion which non-religious people would never do.  This has all been covered 1,000 times here, but I'll be happy to report if asked.[/quote]

What is the other way around?[/quote]

Do most religious traditions align with morals.[/quote]

Well, this might be the chicken or the egg kind that question.
I believe some moral principles are innate like don’t murder.
Some moral principles could be to create a peaceful community like don’t steal or commit adultery.
But, only  religion teaches moral principles systematically to most people .[/quote]
