Right after I hit send, it occurred to me, I did not directly answer 
your question.

No, I am not of the opinion that man would not have morals without 
religion. I AM of the opinion though, that if a man does NOT have 
religion (of some sort), then his morals are based only on what he 
believes to be right or wrong. And, as we know, human nature is a fickle 
entity, and personally guided beliefs are subject to change on a whim.
