do we have to believe in God to be moral?

Moral behaviour comes from culture. Good moral in India may be treated as an orthodox behaviour in western countries and a moral behaviour exceptable is west may not be good in easter part of the world. However, all religions teach almost the same ethice of love and freindship. No religion teaches violence. All are same.

I do not believe that religion is necessary to have morality. I base this observation on the actions of people I have actually known. There are many people who are moral but not religious, and you often cannot tell by the way a person acts whether they are religious or not. If they are religious, you can't know which religion they are by their morals. I'm a pretty good example of this, because people often guess my religion wrongly by the fact that I behave in ways they see as moral. Moreover, even when people change religions, their morals often stay the same. I have known people who went through many different religions in their lives, and continued to behave in much the same way outwardly throughout these changes. What is right, the ways in which we feel we should behave, are largely the same in all religions. Whether you act a certain way because God says so, or because you feel it is in the best interest of yourself and humanity as a whole, or because you truly just wish to, it's all the same.

Religions tend to contain many rules and guides to live a better and morally acceptable life, however they are not the only way. Many non religious individuals are able to develop their own high stanadard of morality, morality is after all a sense of what is right and acceptable and what is not and anyone woth half a brain is able to work out the difference. It could also be argued that the blind faith in, and the strict application of religious codes can also cause people to be intollerent of each other and therefore create problems. The bottom line is the nature of the individual and not the religion that they chose to follow.

Not at all. There are many people of various religions and athiests who do not believe in or worship the Christian god, and yet thate moral people. Morals comes from your inner understanding of right and wrong.

although some religious group help many people change their way of living its not necessary to belong in any religious group.even you`re in a so called religious group if you dont practice your church doctrine its still useless.morality comes from deep within,its your understanding and doing what you think is right or wrong. only god could know what thr real sense of morality.

The immediate answer is that being religious does not determine one's moral behaviour. For example, the terrorists that flew the planes into the World Trade Center were very religious people but lacked morality on a grand scale. However, the difficulty is in trying to define morality. You can't just say it's a difference between right and wrong because one person's 'right' can be another person's 'wrong'.

Faith in God is not all about morality. It entails wholesome love for Him and total commitment to Him. If your purpose of beliving in God is to have good morals, then something is missing. Morals is one of the attributes too.

Firstly we must know why God's create us all. God creates us for us to become his servants, and that the main point of why He creates us. But only a few human worship God as it must be. There's no God but Allah, and that must be our firm faith :-)
