Truth be told....what religion has done to this World is far more than what atheism could attain in 50 years

Can you say that there isn't a religious person who haven't even one time refrained from committing an immoral act on account of his belief in God

Yes, i think religion has a foundation for morality.

All the religions in the world tends to have absolute ideas on what morals; proponents of the religion should have, due to the characteristic of the religion.

Now does that mean that Morality comes from religion?!, No.

Does it mean the morals you get from your religion is the right one?!, not necessarily.

Consider this, a christian would read his/her bible and see "suffer not a witch to live", his morals of obedience would be questioned if he does not adher to this barbaric teaching. The painful thing about it is, he or she would believe he is doing the work of God and is morally upright.

Can we really say this person is immoral when he is only an obedient servant of God and doesnt know any better that witches doesnt exist?

Can we say christianity is immoral if it offers morals that are fictional in character?

Morality is complicated and i dont know all the answers, but i do know that the idea that morality comes from religions is a very wrong idea and shoud be dismerited, at the same time Religion should be appreciated when it contributes a little quote to the Morals of the society too.
