Comment on Without the precursor of Spirituality and Religion, there can be no morality.

“‘Without religion, how would you stop yourself from raping and killing all you want?’ I already do all the raping and killing I want. That number is ZERO because I don’t want to rape or kill!” - Penn Gillette.

With or without Religion we seem to, as a species, not inherently think raping and killing is wrong considering all of the raping and killing that goes on.
My point is all documented human groups had a spiritual belief structure so evidence suggests that belief structure was required for a consistent, easy to communicate, “moral code” that exists today.
Go back 10,000 years if you want to see what “inherent human morals” look like.

That doesn’t suggest that at all. Correlation does not equal causation.

You tell me what every single group of humans having a spiritual belief structure means then. Otherwise don’t waste my time
