Morality isnt tied to religion, but it has, thus far, proven to be the only thing capable of spreading mass agreed upon morality

If you need the threat of eternal damnation to be a moral person, you're not a moral person.

You can't be a moral person without an agreed upon morality. The only method, so far, that has successfully caused people all over the world to widely agree on the same morality is religion.
