Morality and religion, often much to our disgust, are terms that are used interchangeably (and hypocritically). Any first year philosophy student would beg to differ. This student would know that the rules of morality are separate from those of religion, law and etiquette.
Each employs evaluative terms and language--words like `right', `wrong', `obligatory', `good', `bad', `evil', `ought', and `should'. Moreover, each is essentially tied to action, and, indeed, tied to the concept we have of ourselves as agents. But the use of evaluative terms alone doesn't make a statement a moral evaluation--even when the terms are applied to considerations generally within the province of morality.
In addition to employing evaluative terms, judgments in morals, law, and etiquette provide standards of behavior, and call for certain sanctions where individuals fail to comply with those standards.
In the matter of etiquette, these are considered standards of personal taste and are therefore non-moral in nature.
As the possibility of civil disobedience shows, however, the standards set by ethics are often considered to be over-riding standards--they are generally considered to cut deeper than the conventional and legal standards.
Generally speaking, religious evaluations, standards, and sanctions ultimately rely upon an appeal to authority, and in ethics (or morality) the evaluations, standards, and sanctions must be grounded in an appeal to reason.
To illustrate the difference, consider the matter of adultery. The moral person would consider adultery wrong because reason would tell him that it is just not the right thing to do. It's hurtful to his spouse and destructive to his marriage. The religious person would not commit adultery because God tells him that it is wrong. His faith in God dictates his actions...unless of course he's a Republican Congressman then all bets are off.
So next time some deeply offensive wingnut paints himself as a person of deep moral convictions as he threatens the life of a judge, or enables some politician to steal from the poor to give to the rich, make the point that he may have deep religious convictions but that his sense of morality sucks. And if he continues to spew, ask him if he speaks to God with that mouth.....
