The absolute morality that the religious person might profess would include what, stoning people for adultery, death for apostasy, punishment for breaking the Sabbath; these are all things which are religiously based absolute moralities. I don't think I want an absolute morality. I think I want a morality that is thought-out, reasoned, argued, discussed-based upon, almost say-intelligent design. Can we not design our society which has the sort of morality, the sort of society we want to live in? (Richard Dawkins)
