You don't need to have religion to develop a moral framework. Read about 2000 years of philosophy. Most of what Christianity teaches as morality was adopted from previous religions or even pagan philosophies.

Christian tradition itself is full of conflicting moral codes. Look at the new and old testaments. Or the behavior of most Christians versus the teachings and examples of Jesus.


Well said.
