We looked at three assumptions connecting morality and religion. Why is it
common to assume a connection between religion and the existence of God on
the one hand, and morality and the existence of moral facts on the other?
Which assumption(s) about this supposed connection is most compelling?
(Alternatively, which assumption seems the least compelling at the outset but
appears the most plausible once its supported by reasons?) What are the most
serious problems for the assumption(s) youre discussing? Can those problems
be overcome?
