The third difficulty for the view that morality is rooted in religion is that some elements of morality seem to be universal, despite sharp doctrinal differences among the world’s major religions. In fact, these elements extend even to cultures like China, where religion is less significant than philosophical outlooks like Confucianism.
道德植根于宗教的第三个问题是，尽管世界主要宗教间的教义差异巨大，道德的某些成分看起来是普世的。在中国，与儒家学说等哲学观念相比，宗教要逊色一筹。实际上，这些成分也甚至延伸到像中国那样的文化之中。
