Morality is not rooted in religion and religion matters less for moral values now than it did thirty years ago, says Dr Ingrid Storm a University of Manchester researcher.
Her study found that religion is only related to some moral values, and more so in religious countries and when people do not trust the state.
These findings are based on her analysis of European survey data over the period from 1981 to 2008.
