Absolutely not. If you look up the definition of both, it should be quite obvious. Is this for a term paper or something? Kind of in a hurry, so don't feel like expounding this very moment.

I would say no, particularly when it comes to business and the law. Quite often religious beliefs would clash against ethical practices. A person has to be able to operate in one world without thought or consideration of the other.

I agree with the peeps above, but I do think ethics are necessary for religion :-)

I would say no. Presumably, that's also what the spirit of law or codes of honor are for, however you will always find the bad seed in any system of positive intent. Ethics is the groundwork that religion, politics, business, medicine, law, or any other system should be built upon.

Absolutely not, there is a guy that works with me who doesn't believe in anything, I guess that makes him an Aethiest(sp) but I would hope to be as involved in my community and be just as good a person as he.

Ummm, I haven't talked to you in forever. I know your ass is on facebook. You are going to have to add me. I got a post in my journal about it.

I'm not on Facebook...for real, I'm not. This is all I have and I barely have time for this! Oh yeah, and Myspace. Lil brother and shit.
