    Lesson 3 Religious Response:

    The Role of Religion in Ethics


    Intended Learning Outcomes:

    Differentiate ethics from Religion

    Explain the role of Religion in Ethics


    Introduction
    Several articles uploaded on the
    Internet state that ethics or morality is
    possible without God. Even if one does not
    believe in God, he can still be ethical. As to
    how true these statements are, this is what
    you should be able to see at the end of this
    lesson
    Ethics is concerned with what
    is good and moral based on reason.
    This is what religion is also
    concerned about, what is moral
    based on God’s revelation. So
    religion is not contrary to ethics.
    Religion is in support of Ethics.
    Ethics and Religion
    Both ethics and religion are
    concerned with the most fundamental
    questions human existence. Religion
    draws answers to what is moral and
    ethical from revelation as written in
    Scriptures and as “lived by their
    prophets and Jesus Christ (for
    Christian).
    Ethics gets its answers to what is moral and
    ethical from reason and experience. It doesn’t mean
    that theists don’t use reason when they determine
    what is right and In fact, even those from whom
    morality is religiously based may want to examine
    their views based on reason. They may want to
    examine various interpretations of their religious
    principles for internal consistency or coherence.”
    (MacKinnon,B., et al, 2015)
