Abstract

Morality and religiosity have been related in such a way that they coexist and are equally important for the development of a human person's ultimate ideal character. As a result, moral philosophy emphasizes that a person's moral basis can be connected to his spiritual foundation and vice versa, as one of religion's primary goals is to develop the moral fibers essential for man to live ethically. Spirituality and morality are integral components of a human being's character that he must study, cultivate, and cherish in order to develop into the perfect human person he is destined to be. He does not have to indoctrinate and inculcate only one of them while despising the other. This essay discusses the concepts of Morality and Religion in general. Additionally, it addresses the relationship between the two, as the human individual applies the same principle to concrete convictions in life. Finally, a category for what a person should ideally be is offered, as the two concepts are inextricably linked. This essay employed an expository-descriptive approach to research. The primary sources were books, papers, and other comparable writings from the library, internet, and other sources, as well as observations in the experiential world. This strategy aided in the completion of this research work.
