My wife is from China. She has no religion in her upbringing, or that of her parents. She is one of the most kindhearted and considerate people I know. I agree that morality can be rooted in religion, but I know it doesn't need to be. Ethics and morals need not be invented. It is rewarding to live a compassionate life. If you do good, you are surrounded in good. We are all in this boat together. We can make it better, or we can make it worse. IMHO, that can come to any thoughtful and empathetic person.
