Morality is orthogonal to religion.

You may believe that relative morality is orthogonal to religion, but by definition, absolute morality is not possible without a point of reference outside of us, i.e. religion.

And I would say relative morality is no morality at all. Pedophilia, murder, rape, etc is absolutely wrong. I don't care what you compare it to.

And I would assert morality is orthogonal to science.
