Religious belief is a product of evolution. It's literally genetic. Moral belief - which entails 'moral' action, does not necesssarily mean external existence of morality. Now of course the question may be - what does external existence of morality matter? But it does matter, because it is always external to the individual who is aware of his individuality, the individual who asks "what ought I to do?" Because if he receives an answer, it has to come from somewhere or someone, and then since it does, he can evaluate whether that somewhere or someone is worth listening to, whether it really has the authority it claims.
