Morality doesn't come from religion.
I'm not saying it does. But many of the morals we have today are based on the morals of Christianity/Judaism/Islam etc.
Also, you should be clear on two different kinds of morality, objective and subjective.

Exactly, there's a logical explanation to all the "good" morality which some people think comes from religion. If anything, religion just reinforced it by giving it divine origin.Morality doesn't come from religion.
Why is that even needed? So what if whatever percentage of a country's population is a certain religion? What does that have to do with government?
someone is going to enforce policies off of religious belief rather than reasoning.
And what might that be? Anyway, we've digressed enough, I think.Exactly, there's a logical explanation to all the "good" morality which some people think comes from religion. If anything, religion just reinforced it by giving it divine origin.
Whether or not there is objective morality is actually quite an interesting argument. I personally want to believe that there is, because it would help me to have more faith that humans as a species are good, but sometimes I have my doubts.

You might like my textbook for this semester, it can be gotten as a PDF very easily. Search for Tavani Ethics PDF.

Corbyn is a communist shitbag.
Take a society where killing is allowed and isn't considered wrong or unlawful. People would kill each other fairly often, people would live in fear of being killed, etc.And what might that be? Anyway, we've digressed enough, I think.

IMO if you are at the left of the left-wing party that's it. For me far-left = communist. I know Americans&co have a different df. of communism, but I'm not talking about USSR communism, far from that.I wouldn't consider a socialist a communist.

If you use words to mean other than their actual definition then you'll get a lot of problems communicating what you mean.IMO if you are at the left of the left-wing party that's it.

A moment would come when people, afraid of being killed, decided that killing each other mustn't be done and that it's "wrong", and put it into law to punish those who don't respect this rule.
Some lawmaker was upset that studs stole all the girls /sSo evolutionary biology then? Those who do not want to fight survive and those who do die, therefore meaning the morals of those who did not want to fight are passed on to the next generation.
What then would be the reason for making polyamy illegal?

For the American tempers who might be confused about Corbyn, he's basically Britain's Bernie.
If by polygamy you mean relationships among more than 2 people, I'd say that monogamy used to be important in regulating western society in the past (with the man and the woman having different roles, the former was in control and went to work, and the latter was relegated to taking care of children and the house).What then would be the reason for making polyamy illegal?

In France the main Left-wing party is the Socialist party, and at the left of that are the Communists.Socialism is far from the far left.
