Is there no such thing as religious philosphy? Philosphy is just the study of lifes problems and answering them, religion can do it all. I just believe that most of the worlds ethics are based on early religious establishment. 

I agree with your last statement though.

There is such a thing as religious philosophy, but there's not much ration in it, as it starts off on false premises.

Your statement that the world's ethic systems are based on early religous establishment is false (Europe's example is a very good one, as we know that the Greek philosopher's based their views on rational thought, not on any religion; Confucious also based his views on his thinking, rather than on any religous beleifs, and his views represent the foundation of the ethical systems in Eastern Asia).

But what spread this Greek thinking to say Norway or the UK? The greek themselves or the spread of religion (Christianity in this case) that once covered the whole of Europe.

While I am not religious, many of my morals in life are based on a thinking that was established by a prominant religion because they are established in my society. The rest are based on logic and common sense to determine what is right, not what a book has told me.

You have said twice about religion and the 'false premises' which points that religion as a whole has no hold on your life. You may not have religion as a direct source of your morals but without it many of lifes simple ethics may not be as well established as they are.
