I guess one must evaluate what is each individual's measure of morality? Religion is not a good measure. Religion is overrated. Faith and belief on the other hand guides true morality from the heart. Religious people can possibly discipline themselves to live an outward moral life all the while filled with evil at heart. Others may also secretly do the same just for show on the outward. Both can also possibly live a moral life without any spiritual influence and also be empty of any value in doing so because they lack the Spirit ...and all the while know not God. True morality comes from knowing God and living in Him.

Since this question is almost a purely philosophical one, you should of just stopped at the first sentence, Cowface. Nailed it- End Thread.
I can only agree with the first sentence as the others seemingly run off onto a touch of spiritualism.
"Faith and Belief"? What "God"? Whose "the spirit" are you talking about since "Religion is not a good measure/overrated"? Defining what IS* "religion", where are you getting these things if not religion? Self?

I'd say he was pretty spot on, big difference between spiritualism and religion, I think religion is man made therefore its bound to be flawed, spiritualism on the other hand is one's own sense of morality

No religious choice has ever given true morality. Morals comes from knowledge that’s been handed down through generations and is learned from experience. For example: the biblical god commands that “Thou Shall Not Kill” or “you will not kill”. Now I’ll remind you that there is no written words that gives you, the reader, nor your pastor anything to justify the cowardice acts of GENOCIDE and INFANTICIDE, yet we see these acts commanded by god, or make that the men who do those cowardice acts to then blame it on their imaginary friend in the sky.
Men will do anything to justify their own actions, be it by a god, gods, or even gods of the underworld. But we all know deep down where the orders comes from and those orders are given by men that wants more - riches that will never fill the empty holes in their heads. You can give them the world and they will still want another along with the one they have - don’t believe me? Just look at how we are still wanting wealth from the Middle East, Africa and elsewhere where people cannot defend themselves.
People today do not even realize that our bank notes are worthless paper and how easy it really is to disrupt the banking industry and government full of wealthy pigs that needs to be taught a lesson on giving thanks to the people that makes their wealth all possible. So do not fear them. They are not as powerful as they would like you to believe; for it is we the people that holds all power in any government, or kingdom.
