I believe in God and that this life is all we have to effect society. My morality is subjective and based on personal and societal morality. I also use the objective morality of God (as I see it) to shape and better my own personal morality (as a checks adn balances). I believe in altruism and self-sacrifice. I think the difference between my views and the typical atheist (other than belief in God) is not the distance to the goal, but the standard of choice.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
