Is Ethical Culture founded on Biblical teachings?
Over centuries, the Bible has greatly influenced Western character and culture and contributed ethical principles necessary to human well-being. The Bible, however, is a selection of ancient stories that also contain superstitions and violence that do not express any ethical-spiritual ideal. Ethical Society members draw from a variety of sources, religious and secular, ancient and modern, to develop our understanding of how life can ideally work and our part in this world.
