Most Muslims are good, honest, hard-working, peaceful people. Some sections of the Koran tell you to treat non-believers those who don’t follow its rules as enemies – a small minority act on this and carry out atrocities like the Woolwich murder. But most Muslims ignore the aggressive bits in the Koran and just carry on being good, honest, hard-working, peaceful people. Most Christians are good, honest, hard-working, peaceful people. Some sections of the Bible tell you to treat non-believers and those who don’t follow its rules as enemies – a small minority act on this and carry out atrocities like the bombing abortion clinics in America. But most Christians ignore the aggressive bits in the Bible and just carry on being good, honest, hard-working, peaceful people. Whatever religion people follow, they always say that their moral code is based on their religion. But they tend to ignore the bits that defy common sense. So do people behave morally because of their religions or despite them?
