Religion and ethics are supplements of laws that govern man. People's religions are judged by social standards based on social ethics. Since religion is held to be necessary good for the well being of the people, it is often standardized with ethics and maybe that's why ethics became said to be the religion of science. Though religion is ethical, this does not mean that ethics is a religion. As I noticed, religion concerns divinity, where God is above everyone while ethics focus on people and one another, founding morality and character.

The cut-flower thesis suggests that morality cannot survive without religion. However, it is not said that without religion it'll eventually turn into chaos with people without any compassion and love for one another. Morality will not cease to exist. Theistic ethics believe that a supernatural being called God is the foundation of morality. God is viewed as the true source of all moral laws, and as the only plausible cause of moral obligations which possess overriding and binding character. Theism claim that, unlike secularists’ ethical theories, this moral system which is also called moral supernaturalism can satisfactorily explain the existence of objective ethical values and the moral law.

In all that I learned in this module as well as with my past knowledge and wisdom I acquired. I do believe that religion is essential for the organization as we can come together and be morally good. However, rather than what was said in the cut-flower thesis, I prefer if it'll be morality cannot survive without the Gospel. We have different religions but are all founded on the words of God. Moreover, to me who have a religion and currently developing both my ethical behaviors and spiritual relations, I suggest that we use a balanced judgment, consciousness, and well as we enlighten ourselves. I can't just tell everyone to base their character on the gospel since we have different beliefs but I can share that this is my preference as the role of religion to my ethics.
