Good question  To me, it sometimes seems that to be religious is only to protect yourself (or soul) so its selfish. To be ethical is to be concerned for other people (so is unselfish)...

Hmmm ok then please explain this story A well known journalist in the UK, who is normally a foreign correspondent in Arab countries (and has many friends there) recently made a series of documentaries in the UK about the immigrant muslim community. What he discovered horrified him.
In the UK, many muslims live an ENTIRELY separate life. They create a separate part of each town and NEVER venture out of it. They use their own public transport and even their own taxi services only. The ones who agreed to be interviewed said that they did not want to socialise in any way with English people because they were "evil".
He managed to interview a 10 year old girl, born in England, and asked "how many English people do you know, or have you met, in your life".
Her reply?
"One, my teacher"

İ dont undestand even the question MrX,
İts strange too.
Who said religions 'ALL religions' dont order good ethics ?
So there is no 'or' here.
İf you are religious,you should have good ethics too.
