"Do you or do you not posit that only religion can provide a basis for morality? That, in fact, it cannot exist without a religious basis?" I do not and that is an oddly knotted question in the first place. Clearly there are religious scholars who have behaved in a terribly immoral fashion. Religion is not one thing that people can hang their hats on moralistically. A moral teaching may be religiously based or based on an Aesops fable. However, perceptions of eternity, accountablility, and faith in an omnipotent justice system (or not) does bare on the moral compass of every individual.
