Of course religion degrades morality and common decency. Religion allows theists to rationalize their behaviour by saying, "I can pray and be forgiven!"

When you don't have religion, you have to take responsibility for your own actions. And that means you think about the consequences before acting, instead of hoping to evade responsibility by claiming to be a "good christian".

If you are religious, then yes, it does.

I agree that society's sociopolitical and legal frameworks are heavily influenced by beliefs originating in religion. And I'd believe that the very religious people in the world ponder it regularly in their daily lives. However, I doubt the nonreligious think in those terms. And frankly the average religious person (the one who goes to church but doesn't really listen - about 80% of the religious population) doesn't think about religion when they're not in church (really they don't think about it when IN church either). So I'm concluding by shear percentage numbers that most individuals are not thinking about religion's impact on our morals on a daily basis.

I would only go so far as to say religion directly effects the morals of those who are religious. I wouldn't, however, say that religion has much at all to do with the morals of those who aren't religious.

I don't know who this Morales guy is, but if you're referring to morals, then yes religion is affecting them. It always has. Where do you think morals come from?
