Morality and religion
There is a link between morality and religion. The religion a person has often influence the moral values that person has. Most religions have ideas as to what is right or wrong, or how a person should behave in a given situation. Religion and morality do not mean the same thing. Though religion may depend on morality, and even develop alongside morality, morality does not necessarily depend upon religion. People who do not follow a religion also have moral values. In some cases, political leaders say what people should see as right or wrong. Philiosophical frameworks such as consequentialism, freethought, utilitarianism and humanism also have a moral component, and they are not influenced by religion.
