A sense of morals or ethics can still be postulated simply on a set of philosophical or political principles, or a combination of the two. In fact, a moral or ethical code can be postulated based upon the above, tempered by a firm belief that each person's self-interest will, on a macro level, balance out to achieve a moral and ethical society.

2. I believe in God (or creating force of a sort) based on the rational (at least it seems entirely rational to me) observation that something started the universe. My rational side also tells me to believe that religion is a heaping pile of shit. It might serve some social purpose, but the whole "path to God" bit is horseshit. None of them are right, and "faith" is just ignorant refusal to deal with reality pervertedly repackaged as some noble endeavor. Its not noble to view the evidence around you and say "I believe a faery tale instead." Thats idiocy.
