    Is morality possible without "God"?

    Is "God" needed to form the fundamental basis of morality or is mankind capable of morality with no "God" presence?

    Yes. Morality is possible without god as a literal being, a symbolic being or a fictional being.

    I am moral because of empathy and rationality.

    I don't believe in any gods.

    I'd say not only "possible" but even "probable."

    The mythological gods of humans create division throughout the different religions as people fight over "the one true god."

    Take god(s) out of the equation and at least that type of divisiveness will be gone.

    I messed up. I meant to vote "no."
