Abstract
This study investigated the moral and religious perspectives of students at a religious university (N=190). Participants reported their religious affiliation, moral identity, educational background, and perception of the relationship between religion and morality. Religious affiliation did not predict moral identity, but religious education predicted stronger integration of religion and morality.
