Is our way of thinking like this because of modern-day religion, or is it just natural? Did religion shape our morals, or were they always there naturally?

Some of it is natural instinct and some of it is from religion. But rly it is bs and beyond humans it doesn’t exist and neither does good and evil. Just do whatever u want and try to keep it legal

We're group / pack animals, so our natural logic is

If [thing] hurt me, bad
If [thing] hurt friend, bad
If [thing] hurt enemy, good!

Most of our morals and decisions are based around this simple logic, "hurt" in this case expanding beyond physical pain and onto emotional, financial etc.

Cope in what way, you’ll live happier if u don’t care about that shit
you will be happier in only some low iq hedonistic definition of happiness (most hedonists don't follow epicurus), but this shit will lead you to unhappiness
morals exist independently from humans, we just discovered it

Wouldn't say people completely discovered "morals"

what kind of bullshit is this, morals don't exist they are manmade. one could argue that humans were evolutionary selected for efficient morals and thats all the objectivity morals will ever have. read nietzsche.

if morals is manmade then your claim about morals being manmade is also manmade and not objective JFL

my empirical evidence is that humans have not yet found an substance called "moralium" that gives all humans their moral compasses:p

empiricism
Mb my internet slow asf, I already explained but I think morals come from humans instinctual needs to survive and help our friends and family, it is also emphasised by our intelligence and knowledge of other beings relatability. If there is any other intelligent life in the universe they would most likely have similar morals since all species primary focus is to survive and keep the species alive. Beyond human life or any somewhat intelligent life morals don’t exist. A female spider doesn’t hesitate to kill its mate after being impregnated because the male has carried out its purpose and the female needs food. Completely different to humans

Living life without moral compass is much better for the individual but 'muh collective good'. Look at anyone in power or very famous, they dont give a shit and are thriving. Society shouldn't be your priority, especially for many outcasts on this shithole forum.
 
Moral compass is defined through history via family, society and ever changing form of state
