Nonsense. There’s not a single “holy” book whose rules can all be followed (mostly because they’re self-contradictory garbage). Every follower of every religion has to choose to ignore at least SOME of their Big Book o’ Bullshit. In making the choice WHAT Bronze Age stupidity to ignore, they bring to bear a morality from OUTSIDE their teachings.
We have innate morality that flows from our evolution as cooperative social beings. It’s not handed down from the Magic Sky Daddy.
