Behaving morally because of a hope of reward or a fear of punishment is not morality. Morality is not bribery or threats. Religion is bribery and threats. Humans have morality. We don't need religion.

This quote suggests that behaving morally should not be done in order to gain something, such as a reward or to avoid a punishment. Morality is something that comes from within – it should not be seen as a type of “payment” to satisfy a higher being. Religion, on the other hand, tends to rely heavily on rewards and punishments as a type of motivation. Humans do naturally have morality and are capable of making ethical decisions without relying on religious beliefs.
