Studies have shown that individuals from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds tend to share many moral values, suggesting that morality is not solely dependent on faith. Additionally, research in the fields of psychology, neuroscience, and evolutionary biology has shed light on the biological and cognitive mechanisms underlying moral decision-making, providing further evidence that morality is not exclusively dependent on faith.<ref>{{multiref2 |1={{cite book|last=Harris|first=S.|year=2010|title=The moral landscape: How science can determine human values|publisher=Simon and Schuster}} |2={{cite book|last=Sinnott-Armstrong|first=W.|year=2004|title=Morality without God?|publisher=Oxford University Press}} |3={{cite book|title=The Science of the Mind|first=Owen J.|last=Flanagan|publisher=MIT Press|year=1984}} }}</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
