Tell that to people on Dawkins.net
They seem to believe that religion comes between morality.
Childishness! We humans come between our own “morality”.

Umm…I feel myself agreeing with the previous 4 posts. A little disconcerting.
Thanks
Determining a person’s personality is rather hard to do by just looking at one aspect.
There are very good people that are religious, and atheist, and there are bad theists and atheists.
To determine character you’d have to closely examine every aspect and event in their life and how it affected their choices and personalities. The bad part about people is that no two are alike.
Hello. I’m a theological noncognitivist, which could justifiably be classified as a sector of ignosticism. I’m not certain whether or not this has been addressed, but I’m disposed to input my two cents regarding my reasoning. I suppose I ought to provide some background first: originally, I was a Roman Catholic. Eventually, I found I was far too much of a rationalist (and found theism far too irrational) to remain as such; as time passed, I gradually shifted from the Christian definition of ‘God’ to that of an agnostic theist. I found traditional definitions of God too rigid. I’m a simple-minded human being-- who am I to make conjectures about the nature of God and, furthermore, to proceed to act upon them? Resultantly, my definition of God became extremely ambiguous. After briefly flirting with various forms of agnosticism and strong atheism, I’ve returned to this concept. What properties can be ascribed to God? If I select any properties, I have presupposed the nature of God. If I do not select any properties, I run myself headlong into a significant conundrum: I have no method of distinguishing that which is God from that which is not God. You could state that your shoe-lace tip is God; I have no solid argument to refute such a claim, excluding one centered on self-evidence. Therefore, as it lacks substantial, intrinsic characteristics, the concept of God is rendered meaningless. I encounter a Euthyphro dilemma of sorts: Is God God because he is divine, or is divinity divine because it is characteristic of God?
However, once a specific definition of God is proposed, I typically take on the stance of the agnostic atheist.
