Most religions have the concept in them that they have a divine source for morality: do not steal, lie, murder, covet, etc and perhaps also a few rules which are positive. However recent investigations have uncovered that morality in humans is neither inborn nor accessible through numinous experience, instead it is based on the experiences of human social interactions, empathy, trading blows, emotional development in short moral principles are a development by experience.
This brings a great turn to a Nietzschean teaching of the need to reevaluate and turn on its head the morality of the church. Suddenly there is no such need. On the other hand the common morality is shown to be under a false guardianship by the church. This needs to be corrected, light should be shined on this misrepresentation. The real reason why most all civilizations have morality is not because of divine illumination or teaching, it is the result of learning in every human.
