CORRELATION BETWEEN RELIGION AND MORALITY

Abstract

The work examines the correlation between religion and morality or more precisely their convergence. At the time when the world is more centered on hedonism and material progress, moral values are repressed. Many theoreticians are working on finding ways to return on the path of moral values. There is no doubt that religion and morality are comparable. In theory, religion and morality are disjunctive but practically compatible. Religion affirms eternal and permanent values, the basis of the morality as well. There is a pressing need to form analogies of the correlation of religion and morality for two reasons. First reason is that moral values, as said earlier, are pushed aside to give way to material values; second is that the religious education in schools is very often disputed, which implies that in some way moral education is repressed as well.
