I think religion, as I understand it, is only of any use when people are young and impressionable. It gives us a basic tenet to carry through life.
When we discover that all major faiths share the same basic guidance (don’t kill, steal or cheat), the differences that lead to division, become untenable.
The basics are a useful guide to our future moral conduct, unless you suffer from some mental aberration or other. The whole purpose of life is to try and be a good person, and to impact others lives in a positive way, without dramatic interference in those lives.
Some might accept your involvement, others may not. No problem.
I do not require the promise of an afterlife to motivate me in this one. Sharing honest goodwill is enough. I conduct my life according to basic moral principles. I accept no blame for others shortcomings. Just do your best and move on.
I make no claim to get things right all the time, because sometimes life throws up difficulties that might try our patience. Sometimes others might not grasp the subtlety of your efforts. No matter, just move on.
Setting a good example for others, without using force is not so difficult. All it takes is the recognition of your efforts, and sometimes you are the only one who recognizes it!
