Can someone achieve morality without in religion?

Of course you can. Yet the issue right here is where do those morals stem from? Morality is a subjective. One people right, is every other people wrong. All truths are subjective (apart from one). Many morals are imprinted upon us from parents, society and (alarmingly powerfully!) the Media.

Ill provide you a splendid instance concerning the media in the UK. I be mindful not too long ago, how the media in massive components took a strong stance of some 'hatred' toward the inflow of 'foreigners' into the UK 'how horrible all these humans from other international locations are coming right here and taking our jobs, taking advantage of our system, etc'. Yet the identical media has been somewhat keen to paint a photograph of different countries 'lack of heart' in the recent 'refugee crisis'. How funny? The ethical distinction is described by the media :)

This is where 'religion' (personally no longer a fan of the word 'religion' at the moment!) can play a part on defining a set of morals which can be attributed to a divine/knowledgeable source (and no longer mere mortals) and supply a foundation for a coherent set of morals.

Having read a good deal scriptures attributed to the 'Hindu Religion' such as parts of the vedas, upanishads and the bhagvad gita- i trust much of the standards of morality emphasised in these texts have been now not solely put ahead to assist one are searching for salvation/liberation upon death (which is why many follow a religion- in the hope of salvation at death), however even more so to help one in this life.

In overall answer to your question sure ofcourse you can have morality besides 'religion'; however the consequence as one can see in this world is excessive ranges of suffering, hate, hurt, etc.
