<p><b>New page</b></p><div>==Overview==<br />
[[category:claims]]Defenders of [[religion]] often claim that there can be no [[morality]], or moral behavior, without the discipline imposed by religion.<br />
<br />
This claim most often takes the form of a claim that [[morality requires God]], but other aspects of religious discipline are sometimes invoked instead.<br />
===Conclusions===<br />
The objections to "[[morality requires God]]" generally apply to this claim as well, to the extent that the benefit of religion is presumed to be a [[carrot-and-stick|threat/promise combination]] which gives people an incentive to behave decently and without which they would not do so.<br />
<br />
If there are any arguments for this claim which do not invoke a threat/promise combination, we are not currently aware of them.<br />
===Later===<br />
Probably these two should both be subclaims of "[[morality requires external incentives]]", or something similar; then the "psychopathy" counterargument can go there.</div>Woozle
