Morality does not need religion as its ground “So far as morality is based upon the conception

再帰代名詞

of man as a free agent who, just because he is free, binds himself through his reason

to unconditioned laws, it stands in need neither of the idea of another Being over him, for

him to apprehend his duty, nor of an incentive other than the law itself, for him to do his duty.

At least it is man's own fault if he is subject to such a need; and if he is, this

need can be relieved through nothing outside himself: for whatever does not originate in

himself and his own freedom in no way compensates for the deficiency of his morality.

the existence of God neither (a) for the discovery of our duties, nor (b) for incentive or motivation

not need the Ten Commandments to know that stealing is wrong) and the incentives and

disincentives of heaven and hell are not necessary for us to have sufficient motivation to perform

Revelation might serve as a crutch for morality in civilizations or individuals who lack the

full development of moral reason, but this is a deficient and hopefully temporary situation.

Both objectively and subjectively, morality does not need religion.
