Billions of people of faith around the world are, like us, doing the best they can see to do to care for their communities; to keep their loved ones and neighbors healthy, safe, at peace.
There are many different faiths - and many people who believe that there is no God or Creative Power, however named, other than the laws of nature. And it is natural for people to want to be right about, and defend, their beliefs and those who share their beliefs. This tendency has for millennia, and still today, created countless us-versus-them conflicts, from the small and personal to the global and catastrophic.
Imagine if billions of people each lived by two fundamental human commandments or principles - thus setting an example for others: love YOUR God or Creative Power, as you believe or have experienced It to exist, and love others, whatever their beliefs, as you love yourself.
