A non-religious person may explain conscience as a sense of inner moral compass that guides their actions based on personal values, empathy, social norms, and reasoning. It is shaped by upbringing, education, experiences, and an understanding of right and wrong that is not necessarily tied to religious beliefs.

What would you expect from a moral religious person?

A:I would expect the same standards from a moral religious person as from a moral non-religious person, no less. The one important difference would probably be the person's own assessment of the reason for his morality. The moral religious person is likely to attribute his or her morality to guidance from God; the moral non-religious person is likely to attribute his or her morality to conscience and a desire to do good for others.

What is a wrong conscience?

The Catholic conscience is defined as, '...the judgment of the practical reason which decides that a particular action is in conformity with or opposition to God's law.' If one is said to have an erroneous conscience, it may be with or without fault. If it is without his own fault, he does not sin by following it, such as making being mistaken on the day and committing an activity considered sinful on that day. However, in regards to the Commandments of God, no person of ordinary intelligence can be ignorant without his own fault. For example, it is assumed (everyone) knows murder is against the Commandments, therefore would be wrong, regardless of what lack of, or mistaken, knowledge the person has.
