The concept of Morality comes from the need for Humans to form communities. Moral behavior is the act of postponing ones own selfish immediate needs and desires and the willingnes to help others in need. It is a set of rules by which indivuals gain trust and respect from other members of their community because of their willingness to live within their communty in harmony with others. Therefore, Moral Behavior is any behavior wich respects the privacy, security and wellbeing of others. It is very simple and needs neither "Diety" nor "Devine Source". The concept of moral behavior was around for thousands of years before the emergence Judeo-Christian-Islam.

Morality is plain common sense wherever and whenever people live in close proximity to eachother. Moral behavior is what keeps and kept ancient socities functioning properly.

We know religious communities are formed soley to "bring moral people together", and religions have a soley communal function, HOWEVER, Rip-Roaring religiosity is not a form of moral behavior. The laying out of fanatical and restrictive sets of rules and enforcing them by cruel and sadistic methods, interferes with social harmony. Fanatical puritanism described as "Gods Laws" cater only to a very small power-elite who are intent on forcing their narrow views upon the wills and lives of the community majority. Immoral "Witch Hunting" is a commonplace among the worshipers of Monotheistic, Intollerant, Venge-Thirsty, Monolithic Religions, see: "Judeo-Christian-Islam".

All "Gods" are the creation of human imagination and soley serve the needs of their inventors.
