By following the "Golden Rule", treating others with dignity and respect.

Religions per se don't speak for God, and no single religion holds the key to salvation.

How we treat each other is how we honor, or dishonor, the Almighty. :)

The Golden Rule is just simple common sense. It has nothing to do with religion.

@hunkalove: I agree. We don't need religion to have morality.

@hunkalove: Not with religion, but maybe with faith. What if it's the seed giving root to our conscience, planted there by our creator, that we might differentiate between right and wrong?

@VeronicaPrincess: I don't believe that, but it's a possibility.

@VeronicaPrincess: Sounds pretty complicated. Faith is just a wish. And as far as I can tell, that Creator is an asshole who must really get off on human suffering.

At any rate, the "Golden Rule" is a worthy one - for the sake of humanity, if nothing else :)
