Whether someone partakes in the activities of a church or are atheistic, religion touches all of us. Our understanding of how our morality are formed is debateable, with how close an individual’s ideals are connected with their religion’s commandments it is reasonable to believe that there is some connection between the two. To claim that someone does not have ideals, that they cannot think for themselves of what they think is right and wrong is to many, a ridiculous statement which in hand is a ridiculous statement to say those without a god are not able to form ideals for themselves.

The rats with food stopped eating in order to save another from getting an electric shock.(Animals) This shows that animals don 't just think for themselves, but for others. And they all do this without having a god, or some sort of higher being telling them what is good and what is bad. This brings me to my final argument.
