What defines moral behaviour of those who donot believe in -Almighty GOD, Paradise, and HEll. i mean to say if these people steal, murder, lie, marry their very close relations? because morality comes with believing in Oneness of god, hell for sinners and padradise for good people, which they donot.

A person who does not believe in almighty GOD gets his/her morals from the people around them. They learn what goes around comes around, if they lie, they get punished, if they steal, they get punished. God has NOTHING to do with morality except to provide a crutch for those weak enough to need one.
Oopsie, i murdered a man, i'll just go ask forgiveness now, then I'll be right and moral. Oopsie, i just stole, that's ok, Almighty GOD will forgive me if I ask for it.
Do you get my point? Belief in God does not make one moral.

I concur. It is not belief in God that makes one moral, but what society dictates. Once upon a time, murder and mayhem was acceptable because it furthered ones position in life... for example, when the Black Plague killed legions of people, all a commoner had to do was put on the clothes of an aristocrat and assume his position. As long as he could read, write, and was reasonably intelligent, his new identity was secure. Is that having morals? Not by what our society dictates, but times have changed.

I do not believe that Morality is directly linked to religion. In and of itself, morality is the unseen fabric of harmony. When individuals strive to maintain a life in harmony with themselves, nature, and society. It is a balance between the drive to live, and the drive to be at peace with ones self. A "Moral" person knows that in any given situation, there are a set of unwritten rules of right and wrong that lead either to harmony, or to chaos, and the "Moral" person chooses the path of "harmony"

moral and legal....they kinda go together, don`t they?? If they do all these things mentioned they are braking the law, so...i guess that is what you should go by.
