Can religion truly teach morality? I mean if the only reason for doing the right thing is avoiding punishment then is doing the right thing for the wrong reason truly moral?

Fair point, for the individual. Arguably less important if the focus is an ordered/moral society.

A society is more concerned about the result, not so much the reasoning behind the result.
