Moreover, in atheistic religions such as Buddhism and Jainism one is not accountable to a higher being. There is also no universal moral code common to all religions, theistic or atheistic. Many elements of the moral code of each religion are completely arbitrary and trivial. Indeed, what is held as a moral value according to a particular organized or unorganized religion might be illegal and cruel in the modern context. Cheers, Santosh
