All religions perish through the belief in morality

Thus wrote Nietzsche in a notebook of 1885.

When the Church of England synod recently voted against women bishops, the resulting criticism proves Nietzsche's observation that morality (a system of values in which 'good' and 'bad' are determined by shame, guilt and control) kills religion (a set of values in which 'good' and 'bad' derive almost wholly from a caste of self-confident and self-satisfied peers in contrast to their competitors). There is no doubt that religion is dying - from the left, for want of morality; from the right, for want of self-belief.
