I described myself on the last population Census as Zen Buddhist. Zen's a nice religion on the whole and doesn't step on anyone's toes particularly. I like Classical Japanese Haiku, too, which are full of Zen wisdom and insight (pretty excellent poetry too). I was advised years ago by a very great teacher to meditate every morning and I've tried to strive for that every day since. That's why I get up an absurdly earlier time than I need to each morning, so I can meditate for at least ten minutes before I face the day. If I don't do it, I find I'm manic to be around. Hence the Meditation Room on the site!
A good moral saying is "Do as thou wilt an it harm none", which means do what you like as long as no one is harmed - basically a Buddhistic concept of karma and ahimsa (non-harm). For many years I have been a pacifist, which got me into a lot of fights - paradoxically - at school and in public protests on several political issues (too many to mention - my mum still has a badge from my picketting days saying "Support the Artificial Limb Makers"....)
I used to love getting up in public, making speeches and doing seminars on moral, social and political topics - but not anymore, really: I'm more interested in what other people have got to say now! So I don't believe in God but Jesus was a total geezer and one of the Top Ten Best People Who Ever Lived and I won't have people be nasty about him anywhere near me. Ditto Mohammed (Peace Be Upon Him), Buddha and all other genuinely religious, devout thinkers. Though of course as a student of Western literature I am more drawn to Socrates and Seneca, whose ideas are humane, compassionate AND funny. I read a lot of 20th century moral philosophy some years ago and I really found it interesting, when in the context of novel writing, so I was studying Iris Murdoch's novels - an acquired taste but one I'm glad I acquired (like Chateau-neuf-du-Pape wine, or smoked salmon on rye bread toast - mm, in fact the two of those together...)
ANY how...I truly believe the universe is an impersonal imploding bag of gas and matter - but aren't the stars pretty?! As many people have said (plagiarising each other, as scholars do) "we are all of us in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars". Dante Alighieri, the Italian poet, said "L'Amor che move il sol et l'altro stelle" - Love makes the sun and the other stars go round. Seems nice. Or, as ET said, "Be Good" - always excellent advice.
