Morality means to make judgments about right and wrong behaviour according to conscience, which is what atheists do all the time, but most religions seem to want their followers to reject the exercise of conscience and instead just follow orders. This suspension of individual conscience seems to be how all the greatest atrocities in history have occurred, such as the Holocaust and Stalin's purges.
So, can you be religious and still have morals? If so, do you have to reject the authority of your religion in order to do so?
