gentle care and quiet smile ease the fear of a sick patient, in Nelson Mandela’s ability to forgive those who imprisoned him and enslaved his people, in the teacher who, by believing in her pupils, brings out the best in them. The world is full of goodness, whether or not we call it God’s grace, and this important for religious believers to acknowledge. Nevertheless, the great religions are the most effective moral tutors the world has ever known. They begin by turning our gaze outward, to the human other who is a reflection of the Divine Other. They teach us habits of virtue by getting us to do ethically demanding things: visiting the sick, comforting the bereaved, helping the needy, giving time and money to charitable causes. And these acts are done in the context of community, where we learn the habits of cooperation and mutual support that make us “moral animals.” As Darwin showed us, without altruism there can be no community, and without community we cannot survive.
