For example, there are plenty of forum members here who are quite secular and who are also quite moral/ ethical/peaceful. Perhaps an effective starting point in promoting peace (individual, collective, etc.) is to develop the self-discipline to challenge one's preconceptions and engage difference with inquiry/curiosity.
Most -if not all- agree that murder for no reason, or for a certain set of reasons is wrong.
That is in itself an example of the unified moral code that we all have.
That's why an ISIS Jihadists would be utterly alienated in these forums.
Most members see that pedophilia is wrong. Thus; we all agree on it first hand. Maybe accusations will fly at Islam in this specific example but there is always a fierce debate. Yes; paths to identify the act as wrong differs; but the conclusion must be the same: we all despise the act and feel sorry for the victim.
An outlaw is the perfect example of lack of ethics and morals; eventually they will be alienated in the middle of a different society that has a population with a unified and similar ethics and morals.
Challenging one's personal beliefs is a moral that I rarely see around my society. That's why you find me here. Members who lack this moral get usually banned.
It is a one ethical code; the paths to it might differ but eventually killing for no reason must be condemned, stealing must be condemned, hurting for no reason must be condemned...etc, or the conclusion is wrong.
