Ok, I asked a question earlier about a religion that doesn't judge but apparently it is to much to ask of some, not all, to let God be God and not think ourselves as all knowing with the only truth. So, I will ask this. Are there teachings out there that teach how important it is to love and respect eachother, to care for and help others, that it only hurts ourselves and others to lie, cheat, steal, and knowingly cause harm? Maybe it is not a religion I am looking for but I feel I need some direction, suggestions.

Almost all the religions teach love and brotherhood. Basically the religions are founded on this basis only. If you see the evolution of human societies, religions have played a great role in all the social and moral aspects. A religious person does not need to refer any law book as he will never do any thing wrong or unlawful. Hinduism says that "Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam " - the whole world is a family. All are created by one God Para BrahmaN and all must respect others as a manifestation of Para BrhmaN as HIS element known as "Atman" ( Soul ) resides in all. So if a person is truly religious he will surely be full of love and kindness.

How about school values ? those early education books,kid stories ? They are simple and do not need stretching .All religions are based upon those values as well.
But religions are currently pointed to as linked to politics and lobbies and are hard to seperate them from that influence.
But you need something to immune you not to deviate from those noble beliefs.
something that either motivates you or require you to stay the course.
For the motivation part,someone has mentioned the Christian values(the 10 commandments) . But for a comprehensive and exhaustive teachings in all areas of life,try to read the teachings of Koran .Please do not fall prey to link it to politics.And do not look at people who believe or embrace it as models,just read whatever interests you as knowledge.We live in a free society and can read other than some groups prescribe for us .
Have been doing the same thing for years now and I feel very very satisfied,you will enjoy it and feel peace, i guarrantee it.
Just an opinion,feel free to ignore though

Try looking at a religion called Diesm. It was very popular in the 1700's and many of our founding fathers believed it to be the truth.
You might also consider reading Thomas Paine's "The Age of Reason". Its an easy read and sums up things rather nicely.

Many other world religions teach how to treat one another with love and kindness. But Christianity is the only one where our sins are paid for in full. Other religions require something on your part to be able to be rewarded in death.

I don't judge people by their religion and they don't seem to judge me for being Christian. I've probably slept with men representing 90% of the world's religions, not to mention a bunch of atheists and agnostics and general non-conformists.

Buddhism teaches this.. several of the neo-pagan beliefs teach this also.. I believe Taoism also teaches this as well.
If you'd like to learn more about these faiths, try one of these links:

yes, most pagan paths teach that. they also teach you to respect everyone's personal connection with the divine, no matter which path that is
good luck
