Why does the fact that religion has a moral code attached make it "distinct" or any more valid that a non-religion theory of morality? Religion should be treated no differently to any other belief system - and always seems less relevant to me because of its requirement to simply "have faith" that the words of its teachers are correct, rather than to exercise their own critical judgements.
