How do religions teach moral values?

In: School Subjects, Christianity [Edit categories]

Answer:

Most religions teach morals through the use of stories and anecdotes. For example, the bible is full of stories that try to teach us to act a certain way. Each story has moral to it.

They also try to teach us moral values through strict rules, like the 10 commandments. If you don't follow the rules, you may be punished in the afterlife so fear is also used to help enforce the morals they teach.
