Just a gentle reminder why you should worry if you get your morals from religion ...
If you haven't yet, there's never a bad time to read about the Euthyphro dilemma, and the philosophical problem it poses for religiously rooted morality.
Why am I picking on Christianity? I'm not. That venerable religion is only about as good or as bad as any other. The west just happens to be a lot more relaxed about this sort of thing. A video like this with a Hindu or Muslim theme would lead to riots and arrests in India. A similar video with a Christian theme that was made in India would lead to street protests at the minimum. We're just not grown-up enough about these things.
