"How can you be moral and ethical without religion to guide you?" Perhaps theists consider themselves too dimwitted to sort out right from wrong, but I don't feel that we humans really have that problem. More seriously, ethics and morals are very easily proven to be man-made - societally driven, in fact. That's precisely why ethics and morals differ between cultures and groups. We can see, as communications become more global, that morals are becoming more similar around the world. The United Nations is a good example of politics trying to keep up with societal mores. We don't do 'bad' things because 'bad' things ultimately make our lives more difficult.
