Do reason and emotion play equal importance in justifying moral decisions?

Answer

In a very small way, reason and emotion do have a play in justifying moral decisions. But the main factor is our conditioning from our society, religion, ethnicity, regionalism, politics, etc.

A Buddhist will act based on Buddhist's morality, a Christian, Muslim Jewish, etc., based on their own morality.

However, what happens if our conditioning is in conflict with our reasons. Which would we follow in making a moral decision?
