The Relationship Between Religious Orientations and Levels of Moral Judgment.

This paper will investigate the possible relationships between religious orientations and morality. While it is generally assumed that religion and morality are related, previous research has not supported this contention. The evidence to date indicates that only a slight or even negligible correlation exists between religion and morality (see Hartshorne and May, 1928; Kilpatrick, 1949; Black and London, 1966; Batson, 1976). This research has mainly concentrated on overt behaviors; for example, religion has been defined as the frequency of church attendance and morality has been defined in terms of altruism.
