Middle Ground Must be Found

We cannot be certain if there is a definite supernatural world, but it is clear that naturalism and supernaturalism will never be able to coexist peacefully. Although we cannot be certain, it is evident that the idea of the supernatural world forces us to challenge ourselves and try to go beyond what we are capable. This incredible world helps people place faith in something important and encourages them in most cases to be a better person. So even though the natural and supernatural world will never be able to coexist peacefully, it is evident that both worlds are necessary and required by the human race in order to remain flourishing and successful.
Religion provides people with a stable philosophy, guidelines of how their lives should be lived, personal support, and happiness. Our governments also provide us with key qualities that influence and enhance our lives. It guides us to success by providing us with rules and laws, protects us from our enemies, and grants us with everything we need to enhance our lives. It is evident that both religion and government help shape our lives in unique ways and that we cannot live without one or the other.
So then the question arises: where does morality come from? Many argue that religion teaches us between right and wrong and demonstrates to us what makes a good person. Governments also provides us with laws that clearly display to us what is right and wrong, and punishes us for wrong behavior. So which one provides us with morality, supernaturalism or naturalism? It is clear that not all people are religious, and that they still have good morals and know the difference between right and wrong. Therefore, we cannot conclude which side provides us with more morality and guidance to be good and ethical people. It is also clear that all religions and governments do not provide their followers will the same “ethical” support.
So it is apparent that we can still have virtues and morality without religion, but it is evident that religion is demanded and needed by a vast amount of people. Although naturalism and supernaturalism cannot coexist peacefully, we should find a medium between the two extremes to help continue human flourishing. By finding a middle ground between religion and government we will be able to benefit from what both sides have to offer.
