With Kant's idea of freedom and morality, he states that an action should be
founded on reason rather than religion-based morality. And I understand how he could
say so since these religious principles and universal law take away a person's ability to
choose what to do in a given scenario. They are obligated to obey a given law or norm
since it is recognized to be good, regardless of whether or not the individual believes it
is good to them. And, while I don't entirely agree with this statement, I do feel that when
acting on free will, reason and morality should be used in moderation. I presume that
you will not always apply our religion's principles in the same way that you apply our
logical reasoning. It is determined by the individual's thinking style, as well as the culture
and values instilled in them. It is up to them to decide what they will do if they are
presented with a circumstance in which their logic or religious principles are
incompatible to a decision. We must do the right thing because it is the right thing to do,
and because we analyzed how it happened to be right for us and others.
