Sonny is right religion is part of eastern philosophy and part of Indian, Japanese and Chinese concepts of right and wrong, Giri, Joss or Karma all relate to Buddhist tenets and concepts as well as Shintoism and its reverence for nature, ancestors, and divine Kami. They were however free of the ridiculous western notions of puritanism, and original sin! As such religion was less restrictive and their concepts of right and wrong were vastly different then our own. Only recently have laws become more westernized and oriented to our own sense of right and wrong–likely due to our influence and spread of our culture.
That’s a fudge. The problem as set by jack is “Godbelievers” and is silent on other religions so Eastern philosophy/religion is not excluded, Tao, Buddhism, Hinduism (has Gods, as in plural so is not a God-believer is singular, monotheism which is Judeo-Christian-Islam God). A society based on “scientific principles” sounds like a scientific fiction story – maybe L. Ron Hubbard & Dianetics can help.
