Let me clarify - beliefs held with relligious conviction. I have yet to see morals that don't contradict my experience of the world by oversimplifying. The whole concept of good and evil (or good and bad) is utilitarian only, a tool to teach children that won't want to fit complicated relationships between things in real world in their brains, a terminator in the chain of reasoning. Yet when we mature, we see that there's no inherent good or evil, and every concept which was "good" or "bad" in the past can be replaced with more precise knowledge that doesn't involve those words.
