according to me, a person need not be religious to be moral. there are many people in the world who are very practical in their life rather than religious and are morally correct also. take the example of scientists - for them, science is their religion and we all know what they are doing for their country in morally acceptable ways. many people I know are atheists, and they have moral values also. like - they treat people good, they have good behaviors towards everyone, they do charity not because they think that God will be happy after this but they feel that it makes them happy as well as the people they do charity to.
in my opinion, ethics cannot be fully separated from religion. we live in a country where the supreme power is treated as God and most of the people follow their ethics as per the ways they think that is religiously correct.
