You don’t need religion to be a kind human being and have common sense and morals. All of that is taught through parenting, not religion. And this goes for all of them. No matter what, you should be taught to treat others with respect and kindness.

If you don't have religion then I feel like you need some sort of ethical theory or something 🤷🏻‍♂️ Either one works but I don't fully understand how people can have motivation to be a "good person" for no specific reason or without a clear definition of what a good person even is

Your parents.. teach you these things. 😐 not everyone learns kindness through religion. Personally, I didn’t. I was told to treat people with respect because that’s what you’re supposed to do. I personally don’t think people absolutely NEED to have a specific religion.

Yes, I do know that, but that isn’t how I was taught. I learned that years later in all honesty. I wasn’t raised to be dedicated to a religion, so I don’t believe in God or the Bible or anything.
