The popular assumption that religiosity and morality are connected presupposes a moral deity's influence, emphasizing belief over the actual performance of rituals.
Frequent, automatic ritual actions can diminish their significance, potentially diluting their ethical fostering power, prompting questions about mindless routines in religious practices.
Cross-cultural experimental evidence shows that involvement in rituals significantly enhances self-control in children, challenging the notion that rituals are purely mechanical.
The correlation between ritual performance and moral development prompts a re-examination of how ethics are cultivated, beyond mere belief in a moral deity.
