(15,805 posts)13. Social mores play a greater role than religion.
Many people don't have any religious concerns, and more countries have less interest in a relationship with organized religions. Groups of diverse people form societies that foster solidarity and community relationships, which in turn determines our inherent moral compass as human beings. This socialization has become the standard that codifies and expands the basic moral practices accepted by communities around the world. Over generations we've learned to see the common humanity and morality of our neighbors, friends and coworkers, and those principles apply to society as a whole because we all want to see quality of life in our neighborhoods improve to safeguard our own interests.
