Jenny Parker: Student Choice- Morals IV

Today I was having a conversation with a friend, and we found ourselves in a disagreement. We were talking about morals and how one cannot have morals without religion or spirituality. She disagreed with me and said that she has morals but no religion, because she is an atheist. My view was that one must have some type of faith for their morals because what, then, would their morals be based upon? How would their morals have a right from wrong? She said her morals don't allow her to have religion. I did not understand that. However there is spirituality in beliefs right? I asked her what made her morals and why she believed things were right from wrong. Within her answer there still were beliefs which then led to spirituality. Is there not spirituality in religion? Of course there is. Hmm, what an interesting conversation with a friend.
