The idea that morals and ethical behavior come only from religion is silly. In fact, many religions rely on fear as their basic method, and anyone can impart fear. From the get-go, humans respond to connection – from early attachment behaviors and responses to their social and emotional development later. Humans feel good when they are able to make positive connections with other humans. If you display that in your own behavior and reward it in theirs, and are open to talking about and allowing feelings, you will do just fine. Those innuendos come from people who don't understand that the most basic human health comes from connection. In fact, religion is more likely to take when a person is old enough to understand what he or she is choosing.
