religious morality
Doctrine-guided right conduct
Religious morality is ethical conduct derived from religious teachings, scriptures, or divine authority rather than secular philosophy or personal judgment.
The term often appears in debates about whether morality requires religious foundation: Does religious morality offer advantages over secular ethics?
It may also describe moral codes specific to a faith: Islamic religious morality forbids alcohol.
