I think it's quite PECULIAR to tie morality to religion as if morality can only exist in a religious community. How does that make sense?

 Which wold mean if you do not believe in a supreme being or a higher power you are perforce evil and a no good bum. I would think common sense would indicate otherwise as well as experience with criminals. Do you really think murderers are godless? Rapists are atheists? What about the pedophiles who proliferate in churches..we call them priests? Are you then saying that all pedophiles are godless and reject belief in a supreme being? Or do many of them pray to GOD and confess their sins as they keep repeating repeating repeating repeating? Believing you are morally superior because you pray to an unseen entity while you cheat on yhour spouse, cheat on your taxes, lie and go out of your way to harm others is absurd. Some people ARE morally superior .  Some are morally inferior. Some are both. Religion has NOTHING TO DO WITH IT  pro or con. In my opinion. What think you?
