I think if most people in the US are honest, the first exposure they have to spiritual morality is church of some kind either going, meeting people who proselytize, or as I now interpret the church IS...
Interesting point of view...
The Church's teachings (I am assuming you mean Christianity) are not extensively moral when you measure them by generic yardsticks:
- Does it apply equally
- Is it just or at least fair
- Sounds good only as long as it doesn't affect me?
- Etc.
It gets worse if you add the church itself. Not just the sanitized interpretation of the religion.
Many feel the same way.
Anyway, I guess the important thing is to have morals. And there are different ways to get it.
