     The above alone answers this question for me, but just for the sake of
argument: how do you know what "moral" is? Both good and evil are relative
terms, defined relative to one another. Religion, be it traditional/secular,
or something exotic, ala Hinduism, is the only place that says "THIS is
right, and THIS is wrong." Everywhere else you have to figure it out for
yourself, and often times, you're wrong.
