The purpose of this bibliography is to provide a comprehensive list of all academic articles published on the relationship between religion and morality. This bibliography is something I have been compiling for years; I still consider it a work in progress. 

If you spot any errors, omissions, or other edits required, please post a comment and I will update the bibliography accordingly.

Note: an asterisk (*) indicates an item which I consider particularly good. No inferences at all should be made about the absence of an asterisk before an item, since some of these items I have not yet even read.
