What are the connections between morals and religions?
The main connection between morals and religions are that both things teach you something. It can be very small things to big things like how to live your life. Morals are lessons based on a real-life issue, a story, legend, folktale, myth, or fable. Take 'The Tortoise and the Hare' by Aesop for example. There are many morals to this fable; don't be over confident, don't boast, don't overlook others, slow and steady wins the race, and so on. At the same time, religions have rules and beliefs that also teaches people. Actually, many religions also use stories to explain and teach something. For example in Christianity, these stories are called parables. In Hinduism, there's the story of Rama and Sita. Of course, religions don't only use stories. Commandments and rules created by the Gods of each religion also teach its followers and believers alot of things, such as what's good and what's bad, what not to do and what to do.
