Why does religion determine morals so much? [Spirituality & Religion]

Growing up around Catholics, this was extremely prevent. I suffer from depression and anxiety, but I was taught in catholic school that it was all in my head and it was attention seeking. But that is socially acceptable in the place I was. For Amish, technology is evil.
Why do people put so much into what "God" wants and just be good to themselves and others?

because keeping a promise to someone else is easier than keeping one to yourself.

also I agree with flenflyys, the church is big on control. They're a giant organisation but unlike the state, they can't put you in jail if you break their rules, and unlike a corporation, they can't fire you.
So, they stick with making you feel really bad about it instead
