Authentic believers in the Lord Jesus would never assume your morals are less valuable than theirs. Intolerant religious people certainly might, but they are more interested in you following their narrow-minded theological rulebook than in having you receive the unconditional love of God. Through study and inference, you may have discerned the very same moral truths that Jews/Christians do, and you may be willing to follow them sacrificially. The difference is that you are obeying your conscience, while believers are obeying their deity through the spiritual quality of faith. Since you choose not to believe in God, faith is a foreign concept. (I was exactly the same as you for many years. See here).
But please do not feel judged by religious folk. They likely haven’t read or certainly believed/implemented the rich teachings in the Bible. God admires your sensitive conscience even if you do not yet acknowledge Him. You may be closer to discovering Him than you realize. I would like to encourage you to make a concerted effort to discover more about the Lord.

About 60 times, the Bible uses the term “inherit” and about 190 times it mentions “inheritance”. That’s pretty significant. The topic immediately reminds us of what an older, loving family member leaves to the children in a will. When God uses those words, He wants us to take them seriously.
My friend, you’ve got the sequence and the logic a little off. The Creator God has a plan; He is intentional and strategic. Here’s the backstory. God created this universe as a 3-dimensional colony of heaven, His Kingdom’s headquarters. He formed man’s body from the newly created place, Earth, but
When you use the word “make“ it makes me wonder if you’re proposing some sort of genetic engineering? If so then you’re looking to play God. If not then I’m uncertain as to how you want to implement the idea of ‘making’ people avoid injuring one another. In my faith
One of my Pastor buddies sang an acapella version of the hymn “Great is Thy Faithfulness” at a luncheon we attended. It was a magnificent performance which stirred my soul. The Lord prompted me to concentrate on these lyrics: “All I have needed thy hand has provided.” Those words are
