Morals are not exclusive to those of you who are religious. Considering the history of Cristianity/Catholicism and their various splinters, that might be a good thing. To be fair, many modern day churches are paragons of virtue, that want to help their communities, and succeed at doing so. My problem is with the mixing of church and state, and the corruption of both. On it's own, religion can be a good thing (despite my own views on it); providing peace of mind and unity of spirit to people. On it's own government can be a good thing, guiding nations through these troubled times. The problem with mixing them is that priests become corrupt and poiliticians become puppets. You can keep you fundamentalist "morals," and stay in the 20th century, and the rest of the world will move on.
