What religion is the Tibetan society based on?
Most people - 99% - in Tibet follow the Tibetan Buddhist religion. There are four denominations of Tibetan Buddhism. The largest of these is the Gelug denomination; the other three (in no particular order) are Kagyu, Nyingma, and Sakya. In addition, there are also some Christian and Islamic communities, as well as remnants of Bon, an indigenous religion. Following the Chinese occupation/incorporation in 1950, religion has been discouraged, making it difficult to get accurate statistics.

Do reason and emotion play equal importance in justifying moral decisions?
In a very small way, reason and emotion do have a play in justifying moral decisions. But the main factor is our conditioning from our society, religion, ethnicity, regionalism, politics, etc. A Buddhist will act based on Buddhist's morality, a Christian, Muslim Jewish, etc., based on their own morality. However, what happens if our conditioning is in conflict with our reasons. Which would we follow in making a moral decision?

We also have a minor population of Muslims and other religions. But we live in harmony.
