  Define moral. Moral means different things to different people, so your question really is ambiguous. If you're defining moral by the Christian definition it's one thing, by a Sadist definition it's another, Hindu another, etc.

  It also depends on what your morals are, what your religon is and whether or not you practice what you preach. If you're in a religion that believes cutting people up and eating their hearts is okay to practice then I'd say that's not legally moral, but maybe it is fitting to their religious morals. Depends on how you are choosing to qualify morals.

  Taking a softer side of the issue, if your religion teaches no sex before marriage, no cursing, etc, and you follow those things then you are being moral (whether or not you fit everybody's definition of moral or not is a different story). If you don't have a religion, but have your own set of moral rights and wrongs that you abide by, then you are still being moral. All in how you define moral...

  Well it just depends on what the religion is and how serious they take their religion. Personally I take my religion very seriously, I have my morals which i refuse to change for anyone. So for me yes my religion makes me more moral... but I can't say I'm more moral than somebody else
